    I appreciate all the comments so far. Barring anything changing once that velvet comes off, if I get the chance, I'll not pass and won't have a second thought about it at this point.

    I've yet to get a buck with my bow. He would be an awesome first.

    A couple things here come to mind, IMO he is 3-4 years old. Velvet is going to make him look bigger. Pressure is not high if it's just you and your buddy. What about neighbors? I would have a hard time passing him but what are you after? How do you want to manage your hunting area? I am hoping the ones I'm watching are still out there but gather guys I hunt with shoot deer thats it they don't care about management. Neither do the neighbors from what I can tell. Since its not my ground I can not say much other than to try and teach them better, I know when I get my own ground I would want to have some way of managing. It's hard to say if the deer pictured is a shooter or not but, any hunter would have a hard time just watching this deer walk by. Looks like your doing something right up your way! Good luck this season.

    Interesting looking buck. I'm looking forward to more pics. I also would have a hard time not sending an arrow his way. With that being said, I also would be interested in what he will look like next season. Good luck out there.

    I do think it kinda funny, how we probably look like we're shopping to outsiders.

    OK, just because one decides to make a specific "purchase", that doesn't mean they're going to walk out of the "store" with that item.
