I've gotten to the point where I hope for does and spikes. It would have to be without a doubt outside the ears before I'd squeeze the trigger. Sucks for my eight year old but he'll probably never shoot more than a spike but at least the trophy hunters will be happy.

Bear Charge i like seeing some bigger bucks in my county but the bag limits have really affected the number of deer we see anymore. Now lucky to see any deer when i hunt.

Man that's close! He looks like a mature deer to me and I would most likely squeeze a round off at him but I'm a little bit of a risk taker.

I dont want to take a illegal deer but im sure he is mature enough just not sure on the width. The GW that covers our area would never call into question that deer as being legal. Thankfully, he is one that recognizes the intention of AR's is to allow bucks with good potential to grow older. He's old enough.

I would like to see the original pic and not a pic off the computer screen. Might change how he looks a lot. The buck looks to be mature, but that still does not mean he is legal.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

If you want some friendly advice, get a haircut and take a bath. You wouldn't get hassled so much.
