1st set of antlers
Depends on your management plan.
My idea is to wait until 2 before making the ultimate management decision.
Unless of course your place is at a highly intense level of management already and the standard is for a 1.5 year old to be a certain size.
High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

Shoot him and see if you see another one next year....  He is young.

Looks young, but I'm not sure why.

He does look young. Skinny neck, leggy, not even beginning to show a belly.
