Cull or pass?

That’s a Florida 11 point.

'Lem point

Not a spike, but here's a mature forky we had on a property last year. After we shot him, a beautiful 10 showed up and took over his side of the property.

That is a great example of a deer to "cull". I'd think of him as a trophy 4 point.

I've killed spikes both intentionally and unintentionally. They taste great!

I’d shoot that 1st light on the 1st day. Always was, always will be a meat hunter

You can't control a wild herd. Half the genetics come from the doe.

Now THAT is a "cull" buck. I'd be actively hunting a deer like that, because I go after mature bucks regardless of size. The OP buck is a yearling and an easy pass.

Funny you mention this, after I killed that big 4pt pictured above, a much larger antler wise buck showed up a week later.
