Public or private? Definitely a unique buck that could be a freak in a couple years. At the end of the day you’re the one shooting him so if he gets you excited now, shoot him.
Young deer but very unique. If it gets your blood pumping then shoot it. If it doesn’t, then let it walk and hope it makes it to next year to see what it grows into! It’s your hunt!
Yep I agree the irregular rack could of definitely been caused by an injury! I shot one 20 years ago that looked almost identical and it’s still mounted in my basement!
I think depending on how big the property is, how many bucks you’ve taken to date, and what you’re overall inventory/deer management plan is it could be a great deer to take. Like others have said, if you get a chance to take him, and it would make you happy, go for it.
