I agree on 2 yr old. Culling is only if you have to many bucks and enough tags. If not then let him go another year or two, he is not going to effect the genetics in the herd at this point one way or the other.

I'd pass this year also. I start taking culls when they reach 3.5.

I had his twin last year...still doesn't look great this year, but not something I'd consider shooting anytime soon.

i agree, looks like a 2-1/2 yr old, and I would no cull.

I'd probably shoot him, but we have up to 15 buck tags if we want to use them and more than enough deer for our property.

2.5 yr old was my thoughts also just wasn't sure what everyone thought about culling him with no brows... He's about the 5th or 6th different buck I've got on cam, they just havnt showed up in daylight when I'm there.
