I would not. But I would get a hunter to do it and pocket the money.

I don't care if the HF is next door. It is fair game.

Irion county, lady shot a 29 point with estimated score of 290, the deer traveled on to 1 or two other ranches before being shot, because deer belong to the stare it is legal to shoot. "LONE STAR OUTDOOR NEWS"

Depends on the age, if it's a young buck, probably not. It also depends on the size of the antlers, if it's a monster with 225"+ of bone, yea I would, regardless of age. Would be nice to let him breed but all the Does are probably already bred this year.
If he's been babied all his life he may not survive anyway, and his antlers may regress if he does survive.
Heck I don't know what I'd do, I'd just have to make a call if I saw him.

I would get out of my blind and say go home buck. I like small deer on my place with inferior genetics. I think everyone would shoot him because his rack will probably be a lot smaller the next year because he's not being pen fed with ideal nutrition. He could not even make it to next year. He might be a 180 class 2 yr old and wouldn't be doing any breeding anyways.

My buddy had a elk show up on his camera in dickens county. Sat in the blind the whole next week. Never saw it again. Heard someone called the warden and they returned it to the high fence ranch. Warden said it was fair game but the owners would appreciate having it back.

I really dislike the gnarly white horns on most breeder bucks. If the deer looked normal, I might shoot it. If I knew the owners and thought they could get it back, I'd probably call them.

"LONE STAR OUTDOOR NEWS" I thought it was a guy and scored 251" ? Just down the road from me. Got out of a breeder pen.

Absolutely. Not my fault their fences suck. Our Warden in Coleman flat put told us were fools if we don't shoot one of the black bucks that been seen roaming around our area this year.

Propose the same question, with an Albino buck! see what happens to those answers. Of hunting over 40+ years never saw a live albino deer, except once flying over norther Mason county back in early 80's.... Small buck was near a river bottom there, with bunch of does.....
In the heat of the moment, I'd say i would probably pull the trigger also!...

If I knew who's ranch it came off of "Next Door" then no I would not shoot it. I would call him to see if he would like to dart it or make the decision on what happens to the deer. First I know what they cost and would appreciate the same, second if I made the call maybe it would open up hunting opinions for me in the future you never know. With that being said after I did all that and the owner turned out to be an A-Hole well next time would be a different story.

We have a HF on one side of our lease and this year 2 doe with ear tags got out and we had them on a few game cameras. As a group we all agreed not to shoot either doe, we wanted their genes in our herd. If we had selected a different plan, then yes, drop them!

Is this a thread about being "moral" or something? Nothing immoral about shooting a legal animal. Is this supposed to be a trick question? Unless your neighbor owns a petting zoo, why is this even being asked?

I always thought a deer with ear tags was off limits unless it was YOUR deer. Was I wrong?
