In 15 years of hunting all over the state of Michigan that would be the second biggest buck I've ever seen. I'd shoot him in a heartbeat.

I shot a 14.5" wide 2.5 year old in 2002 that went 90" as an 8 point. The one pictured has quite a bit on mine in the tine length category. I would bet high 11X's". With that said, I would shoot him on opening day with a bow for sure..........he would be my best best buck yet. I have seen quite a few that were much bigger but haven't connected yet.

I'd shoot him in a heartbeat, but I hunt an area where that guy would be considered a monster. I'd love to hunt somewhere someday where I'd have to think twice about him!!!
However, if you've seen bigger and better where you are, it all comes down to personal choice, how patient you're willing to be, and how happy you'd be with his rack on your wall.
