Heck yeah I would shoot cause chances are pretty good that I'd miss anyway so if I'm setting there he's not in much danger. lolol

With the rut just about to "get good", and only one buck tag for Ohio.......Nope. For that matter, I wouldn't in West Virginia either. There is a LOT of season left in both states. That being said..........if someone chose to take the shot, it wouldn't bother me because especially in WV it most likely wouldn't make it through the gun seasons.

What I have learned over the years, for myself, is if I have to even ask myself the question as to whether it is a shooter or not, it isn't.

If it look at you like that...I wouldn't... lol
But for me this game is more about meat than antlers. So yes I would take him!
Cheers, and good luck!

Well, after taking this guy a few years ago it would be hard for me to shoot that one. I know there are bigger and older deer in the area. I have seen a lot of sign this year and the corn is now down so, hopefully it will come together soon. I would however draw and then let back down. It is nice to see a younger healthy buck though. That makes 7 good young bucks that I have seen.

If it were for the meat then yes, but other than that I'd pass, let him grow a little.
