If a game warden writes an AR ticket for shooting that something is wrong with this world. He's obviously a very mature deer.

Nice deer. I think you'll have to be the judge when you see him. You know the genetics on the property. Good luck!

He seems to keep passing that little bent tree. I'd make a 13" stick and hang it on that tree to help judge. He is close, but I'd sure have a hard time passing him up.
Thanks!! Matt

I would contact the game warden for that area by email and send him the pics. Ask him what he thinks. The buck is very close and obviously fully mature. I would be shocked if he didn't give you the thumbs up.

That is a close one, I am leaning to no it isn't 13 but I tend to err on the side of caution. You have some great deer with a lot of character. The suggestion to hand a 13" stick sounds like a really good idea. Give that a shot.

That wide 8 w/ the tall brows would be a good target as well

Nice bucks. Don't think the 9 will make 13".
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

It'll be real close on the 9, but I think he barely makes it. I would sure take a long look before pulling the trigger, though. Placing a 13" stick in view of the camera and contacting the game warden are both good ideas.

Great deer for sure, but 13" is 13". Age doesn't matter. GW can not say shoot it regardless of age. All they can say is to be legal it must meet the 13" rule. No different than the slot limit on fish. Restitution on a deer like that is about $2000 give or take $500.
