An eight point buck with a spread like that , yea I would shoot it .
I would say he's about tow years of age and he might score around 115 to 120.
Nice buck good luck on shooting him this fall.

Me personally no i would not shoot, but for you if it is your biggest buck yet to date then most diffentently or if it just makes you happy then that is what its all about. If he was on my land give him two more years.. Walt

On the public land where I hunt...you'd better shoot him or someone else would. However, if I had my own land...like others have said...I'd let him grow.
Good luck.

Navydeerhunter
someone didn't shoot him last year so that theory doesn't hold water.

I agree to the size (100-105) and age 2 1/2 and for me he is not a shooter. But if he makes you happy go for it.

That deer is a 2 1/2 and he scores closer to 120 than he does 100. If you like him, take him. If you're not sure, pass him. Pretty good approach.
