I would let him grow a while longer, then think how awesome a non typical buck he would be!!!!!
 
I'd probably miss, but yeah I'd shoot.

yes i would shoot him i think he isa neat buck and i think he's going down due to age but then i'm not an expert just wannabe
 
He's a whitetail. I'm a mule deer hunter. I'd save my license for one like that Colorado buck that scored 300+. In fact, I save so many that I now have a sack full of unused licenses.
 
Yes with out a doubt, a unique buck like that is nearly immpossible to pass on.

Probably, "IF", he was uphill from the truck, it was the last day on a local tag, even then, only for the freezer and the fry pan.

Otherwise, this is not even close to what i'm looking for when i spends my money, take the time, and wait all year, to go on a hunt for Big Mulie's.

Yeah, he's different, but IMO, nothing to waste a good tag on.

Its not a muley!

I would shoot it!
 
swbuck, i could see that but thanks, i also read the above post that also identified it as a whitetail. But the question was if i came across this, would i shoot it. No!

I've hunted Whitetail, Mulies, and Blacktail. Generally when i'm hunting, i go for the biggest knarley old buck there is. If i'm lucky, i'll pass on some bucks of good quality and maybe even some really nice ones that most would shoot in a heartbeat. You want to shoot them? Fine, have at em. Me, i'll pass, i've already killed many fine heads and the "Only" buck that is going to interest me is one that's at least as good or better than what i've already got on the wall.

Then again, i've gone home looking at tag stew on the menue. Those were some of THE BEST hunts i've ever had.

There is a old saying and it's true as can be; You can't kill a monster buck if you can't pass on the nice ones.
 
tageater, Naw, them whitetails are OK, like i've said before i'd rather eat one than a mulie but to get a really big whitetail MOST of the time, your talking a guided or private property hunt that costs big bucks. I started on Blacktails at 10, 44 years and many nice ones later, i still want to get a real smoker. Yearly though, i'd load up the chevy and head east for big Mulie's. Some years i'd hit 2 states but always at least one. i don't know... hunting them just gets in your blood, the trip, the country, the chase, being selective, and usually, the long shot if your lucky or work hard enough to find the one you want.

I suppose the same happens with whitetail hunters. Lord knows there's been some monsters killed in the last 10-15 years. But when it comes down to it, i'm here on this site and particularly, on this page cause what extra money i have to hunt trophy deer, i'm gonna spend it with the idea that i'm gonna kill the biggest typical or non-typical [don't really care which] mulie buck, that ever was.

Taking a deer, a big ol smoker buck was the goal but as time passed, i found it still pleasing to come home without filling my tag. As i said above, those hunts where i saw game and passed on good deer waiting and hoping that Mr. Big was gonna show, were still succesful. Hard to describe the feeling but i guess my trophy was in doing what i had set out to do. I knew i could have taken one of those lesser deer, didn't really need the meat, didn't need to kill a deer. By passing on those good bucks, i actually felt great on the drive back home, already planning and skeaming, the plan, that big SOB was there and i was thinking already just how i was gonna get that monster, that toad, NEXT YEAR!!
 
LAST EDITED ON Dec-17-07 AT 11:15PM (MST)[p]It was the refrence to whiteys being the "coots" of deer to us muley hunters that had me post the three S's. As this is what i understand some duck hunters do with their coots?

I dont condone the three S's, and would never do that myself. I've hunted whitetail, and been lucky enough harvest one. A hunt is a hunt as far as i am concerned,and personally i too like the meat of a whitey a lot more than a muley's.

I too pass on lesser bucks, you cant be a TAGEATER if you put the tag on the first little buck that walks into bow range.
 
hahahah that is funny im not trying to start anything but all he wanted to know is if you'd shoot and here somewhere starts goin on how its a whitetail. pretty funny to me. i dont know if id shoot it though kinda creepy hahaha
