He looks like at least a 7 from my vantage point.I'd stick him if I got the chance.It depends on how big a place you have and what your goals are.He looks good to me.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.
Don't text and drive.

Time to lay the hammer down on him!!!
If some animals are good at hunting and others are suitable for hunting, then the Gods must clearly smile on hunting.

Yeah, my rule of thumb is cull them if they don't have brow tines. Unless of course it's a 200" mule deer. Then I'll harvest him to hang on the wall.

By all means take him and take him early. No brow tines is a higly heretable trait and you dont want him breeding any more of your does. If you have a lady bowhunter or anyone on the lease who bowhunts, take him as soon as you can.

We took one out like that last year. Same body shape and antler characteristics.
He was old, it was obvious with the teeth wear. I say CHOOT EM!

No brows and short tines = cull in my opinion.
Our old lease in Kendal Co was loded up with deer like this. Over the last couple years we hunted there my dad and the landowner shot one each and my brother shot two. I would shoot
It's hell eatin em live

I agree. He's a good bow kill for one of the ladies or kids.
