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?

Im a sucker for eyegaurds :chuckle:. 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.

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.  :dunno:

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  :twocents:

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