Nope

[Mike450r]

Depends, if it is a shoot now or he runs situation I let him run.  If he hangs out and gives me too long to think about it he is dead.

[YoterHunter]

wackem its better to put meat in the freezer .then have tag soup later .and kiking your self in the but for not taking it.

That screams jerky, pepperoni, and breakfast sausage all day!! If I had yet to kill a buck, I'd whack him, if not I'd hold out for the last few days or so before laying him down.

[bobcat]

This year I'd have to pass on that one, unless I was hunting with my bow, or unless it was the last day of the season.
 
Even if I had my bow, I'd probably try my best to hold off if it was the first week of the season. I really want to spend more hunting time than that, unless it's a really good buck.

[sticky]

Yes, if 1.) he is not in some deep ass ravine to pack him out of, 2.) if I have not seen one single buck all season, 3.) none of my buddies have killed anything larger, and 4.)  he's made up of 80% backstrap, and the rest jerky and some lovely sausage.

Otherwise, Mr. Babyfork gets a pass until next year.

[firefighter4607]

Nope not on the first day this year. If it was the last day and legal to shoot a 2 point, then he would be down this year because I want some sauage and jerky!

If he was where I hunt it would just be another buck that will grow until next year. 3 point or better unit. And we have seen a big improvement on the size of bucks since it has started.

[jechicdr]

It's got to be a doe or a huge buck.  You can't really brag about shooting a forked horn, and a doe is as good if not better eating than that little buck.  I have not gone a year without shooting a deer (except the ones I have not hunted) so I am not worried about "tag soup".

[teanawayslayer]

sure would be tastey

[BOWHUNTER45]

whack all those 2 pts... chances are thats all he may ever be 

yea cus nice bucks are born big and are never 2pts. to start

I  think someone needs to do some reading on blacktail ..... not whitetail but blacktail and I better round up some pictures of some of these 200 pound blacktail I have seen killed which most likely never gotten any bigger than a 2 pt. and I AM NOT SAYING ALL OF THEM DO NOT GET BIGGER BUT I also know alot of them do not !!! I round up some pictures of some long time 2 pts     

This one was a 2pt a couple years ago ...

[BOWHUNTER45]

here is one my niece shot with me last year .. this deer was at least 3yrs old ...still a 2 pt ... look at the body size .... I find ya some real big ones !
