is this a shooter blacktail?

[DWP]

Yes. Affirmative. Si. Oui. You bet. Etc.....

I can respect just being able to not shoot it, it must take some serious patience. He must be a regular visitor?

[YoterHunter]

[AOD]

i dont get to see many big bucks until the rut. i dont think many people would i swear these guys live underground most of the year!

[spin05]

Where do you live again???

[oldcamper]

  NO DON'T SHOOT   

[blackveltbowhunter]

Im a sucker for eyegaurds . So I would shoot. I passed a buck very similar in general season, not quite as good of frame but he was smooth so he walked.

[bucklucky]

Nice buck, thats a damned if you do , damned if you dont buck. 16 1/2 wide 14 1/2 tall. Nice buck Id kill him and be very happy, archery gear done deal no question.

[blacktail luv]

I guess I'll be the first one to say it.  I wouldn't shoot it. It's a nice buck don't get me wrong but I'd admire him and move on. 

[kglacken]

You are in a good area if you would admire him and move on! I wouldnt think twice... 

[blacktailer]

Shooter in my book.  Any mature blacktail is a trophy.  BOOM!!!!!!

[singleshot12]

He's a little thin looking, specially in the hind quarters, meat might be tough too. I'd hold off and wait for a fat fork horn or spike with more meat on the hindquarters 

[DWP]

I should say that I hunt with a bow....but I would shoot him with any weapon if I ran across him.

[D360]

Nice buck, I'll come put him down for ya
