I'd give him less than 30 days to live. Then pet the hell out of him happy3

This is one deer you need to be super careful with. You'll likely be tempted to shoot him this year, but I would suggest waiting until you could get someone like me to come and evaluate him for you. You don't want to shoot him too soon. On the other hand I am expert at these things and would be in a better position to hunt in your blind for you opening weekend. I'll give a fair evaluation. Of course, the best way to evaluate a deer is up close, and I might have to shoot him to get the best inspection. You'll understand, I'm sure.

Nice deer..I would have to shoot him unless (1) I had killed several bigger deer, and (2) I was 100% sure he'd make it to next year without being shot by the neighbors this Fall.

Probably a few more years and he will be a shooter.

I'd tag him if he walked past my stand. And not think twice.

As always it depends. Where are you hunting? What are you wanting to accomplish where you hunt? What is his age estimate as you cannot tell from pics without full body. If you are on a small property surrounded by other hunters who will take him that has to be considered. If on large property being managed then depending on age he should maybe walk. Beautiful deer

My thoughts exactly on a couple leases id shoot him without hesitation ,on a couple other places i may let him walk , and dont forget and im not trying to take away from him at all cause he is a dang nice deer but the look in velvet always looks more heavy

I think tine length is going to trump any mass issues he may have grin

The buck is a Midwest deer......the deer will surprise most what it will score. The deer is 7 plus years old. He will get shot in a heart beat.

I always thought he was a low-mid 160s buck with his mass, now I think he's 170+ seeing he's Midwest old buck...

You know he is 7 years plus based on watching him over the years or from the trail camera pics?

If he is a 7 year old, 170" free range Midwest whitetail buck, the question shouldn't be should you kill him, it's can you kill him?

No, I would wait until he dies of natural causes or a neighbor shoots him.
