Yes I have thought about that many times,What would he look like in a few years? Around here deer don't get much older then 2 1/2-3 1/2 years old when you have people shoot the first thing with antlers that come by,We have 1 mile sections here and everybody pretty much can hunt what they want as far as property.Between bow and late muzzy I have passed up well over 100 bucks,my kids and my wife deer hunt and ended up shooting does the last day of there seasons because they never had anything big enough to shoot,my wife got her doe the last day of 2 season with the muzz,she had 3 bucks with the does in the group but shot the biggest doe because the bucks weren't big enough.2 1/2-3 is what I thought he looked which is why I asked- and if that turns true (not saying you should have passed cause I certainly would have shot him) but can you imagine that deer at 6! either way great buck and nice work getting the job done!
