The never ending Pass or shoot phenomenon

[Zforzachariah14]

Little background story.. This buck is going on his 4th year. The past 2 years he has been a 6pt. This year he finally grew a 7th point but its nothing to rant about. I know its the same deer because he has a white streak up his back hindquarter...He has grown a little taller but his spread hasn't changed since last year. We let him walk on 5 different occasions last year hoping he was going to really add some bone this year. Since he is 4 and supposed to be almost at his peak, I think this year I am going to take him out of the gene pool.

If he had good body mass, I'd shoot him.
But I'm in it for the venison, not a wall hanger.

Had a nice wide 7 point 3 years ago I passed on at least 15 times that season. I knew there was a 150 class on the property and hunted him hard. (Never did get a shot at it)

The Last week of the season the 7 point showed up again under me. It was almost as if he was following me around. Weirdest thing. Never have had a deer show up that often at multiple stand locations.

He didn't make it until the next season. :-)
Finally dropped him that last time.

If your trophy hunting and are not in the need for meat I'd give himself another year to see if he matures out to an 8 or even 9.

Nice tall deer though.

I'd kill him. He's at his peak or near enough to it.
I have a tall 3x3 on my hit list this year. No brows. He's at least 3.5. I'm not gonna wait another season on him. There's another just like him that's a 2.5. He's spreading those genes around and it's gonna come to an end this year.

There's the big 6. He's at least 3.5 years old. We have a smaller version of him running around too.
