I think a game warden will write you a ticket and take the deer if you shoot it

It almost looks like one of those scraggy stuffed decoys the GW uses to catch road shooters. Blasting his skull would be a mercy killing.


One shot is all it should take.

Hard to say, at the age of that deer he probably has an "ear spread" of around 14-15" and not 13". But you know your deer better and only you can make the call

That is actually a pretty good suggestion.

If this were at my lease I'd be all for shooting it, but it's in the pasture behind my house that I bow hunt. I'm gonna let him walk until I see him in person.

Yall are crazy. That deer is beyond the 13" mark. I'd shoot him all day on Sat and twice on Sun!!!

Even if he did it wouldn't matter. I'd guess you would have to travel with that deer into another county, drop it off at the processor, etc. plenty of chances for a different game warden to see the deer. Not worth it.

And I don't think he's 13"


You know you don't have to take deer to a processor right? I wouldn't know the first thing about taking a deer to a processor, never have.


I process my own too. Most guys don't. Either way, you still have to get it home.

I don't know if my first pic was a weird angle, but this pick from last night looks like he's more than legal. Looks like Mr. Cull is gonna take a dirt nap.
