Thats what I was thinking. You think the 5 point is 5 1/2 years old?

I would say so

Yeah Atleast 5 1/2!
And I would guess the trashy buck at 3 1/2

To be shot, or not to be shot, that is the question  :chuckle:

I honestly dont know if I have it in me to let the trashy one walk if given a chance to take him. I know hes young and would be huge next year, but if I passed on him and someone else shot him, I would kick myself for a very long time!

Wow Rasbo you sure are a kind man to offer your services for free. I have to ask though, do you really think anyone in their right mind would pass on that buck? I can talk about it all I want, but when hes 20 yards away and my bows in hand, im layin out the red carpet son!

the hardest part of finding a 170+ buck is "finding" one..u have one and if u let him go he"ll be that 170+ next year! U cant kill a 170 if you kill them at 150. I have let bucks walk in the past..its burned me and payed off.
Title: Re: Checked the cameras today.
Post by: oldleclercrd on August 13, 2012, 11:14:46 PM
Damn you huntnnw, dont make this any worse! If I had more bucks like you under my belt, I would most likely pass, but im pretty sure I will take him given the chance. Only time will tell....
Title: Re: Checked the cameras today.
Post by: Kola16 on August 13, 2012, 11:22:48 PM
I would say that if this buck would be your best take him! If you have gotten bigger ones, let him walk, or Rasbo has a very kind offer  :chuckle:

Post by: oldleclercrd on August 16, 2012, 07:39:51 AM
Ill tell you what. Ill shoot the bigger non-typical and let this younger one walk a few years!
Title: Re: Checked the cameras today.
Post by: Elkpiss on August 16, 2012, 10:03:23 AM

When you post pictures to a public forum you subject yourself to public opinion.
DONT SHOOT HIM! :sry:

I have a pretty cool 3 year old too that isnt gonna be easy to pass up but it is a necessary evil! :twocents:

Post by: oldleclercrd on August 16, 2012, 01:01:12 PM
Oh I hear ya man. Even though I know deep down your right from a management standpoint, it would be my biggest as he is this year. If they both came in together I might shoot the big five, but if freak nasty shows himself alone, he might die.

Dont do it man   :bdid:    let him walk... Shoot the big 5 and get Freak Nasty Next Year when he is a little more mature...  :chuckle: :chuckle:  i mean he is only a 10X4, kill the big 5..! :tup:

Luckily, the one with the strange right side is not in Mississippi.  Some folks can not count that high.

Post by: Elkslayer on August 17, 2012, 12:21:13 PM
I agree with Matt and Shane on this one, let him walk for a couple of years and take the mature 5x5. However, that being said it is easier for us to say that because we have all shot larger bucks in the past. Now I have set my goals higher and it is easier to let a buck of that caliber walk.

Now if I was in your shoes and have'nt killed a nice buck then I agree with you and this buck would probably hit the dirt if he came in by himself........ However I dont think I would take him right away, you have a long season ahead of you and my experience has shown that if you take what you think is the best, you will regret it later on.

Two years ago I had a nice mid 150's buck coming in on a regular basis. The first evening I sat in the stand he showed up and I smoked him and he is my best archery kill to date... After doing so I pulled the card out of my trail cam loaded him up and went back home and looked at the pictures. Lets just say that when I looked at the pictures I got a little sick to my stomach.  :bash: I had a real nice 176" buck that was coming in more frequent than the buck I had just shot. Had I known this I would have waited for that opportunity. Instead I let my brother "Beeman" sit in the stand and he took him out on the last day.

Again, we have a pretty long season, and judging by the bucks that you have on cam this year and the ones in the past, I personally would be in no hurry to fill that tag. But, I also would'nt hold it against you if you decide to take him out!

It is a decision that only you can make!    :twocents:

Public land?  Would hurt to let him walk then see him show up on here with another hunter smiling
Title: Re: Checked the cameras today.
Post by: oldleclercrd on August 19, 2012, 09:06:33 PM
It wouldnt hurt at all. If I make a decision to pass a buck then im man enough to live with the chance of him being taken. Im letting my wife shoot first so the decision is ultimitly up to her. Weather she shoots it or passes it I really dont care, im just proud shes going out. Good hunting to you all.  :hello:
Title: Re: Checked the cameras today.
Post by: jnevs23 on August 19, 2012, 10:23:23 PM
your a better man than I. I might not leave my room for months, just sit and cry
Title: Re: Checked the cameras today.
Post by: oldleclercrd on August 19, 2012, 10:49:16 PM
I said IF I decided not to shoot it, I would be willing to live with my decision. However, I feel that both of the bigger bucks on my camera are more then worthy bucks for both my wife and I, especially with a bow. I would be proud to put them on my wall despite how big they COULD end up. If we dont end up getting triple (he has 3 eye guards on one side so thats what ive called him the last two years) and get him next year, I'll just play it off cool like thats what I meant to do.  :chuckle:
