Convince me NOT to shoot this deer

[gunrunr]

Being a Landowner that hunts 100% on my own land, I get two archery Buck tags every year but rarely ever fill both.
I've always wanted a big 6 pointer as a conversation piece for the wall. I cant recall a bigger more perfect 6 that I've ever had on any farm.
Isn't this a one that needs taken down?

Let fly.

He fits and you have a spare tag, so get him!

I see a 3 or 4 year old there. World record 6 point in making. How's that?

Doesn't have good genetics. I'd shoot him and concentrate on a bigger buck with your second tag!

Looks like he has a bad case of Covid to me. Better pass on him this year. Convinced?

I think mature and you have a tag to burn. Let her eat!

Needs more mass I picked up that 3 pt (bottom center) and always really wanted to kill him but never saw him. Oddly- a buddy a few miles away killed a giant 4x3 but was opposite sides. I always am a sucker for the oddballs. Yes I would love a 200 6/8 to beat my grandpa. But give me something odd like that any day- so I guess- let me come shoot it so you don’t have to

Deer doesn’t make it to mid October on my farm.

I'm shooting him any chance I get, but you should let him go so your neighbor has more chances.

Looks mature...Great buck to shoot and clear the way for younger bucks.

okay here's why... you live in Iowa (assumption). There are certainly way bigger, mature bucks you can use your tags on. Find an interested youth hunter, and let him pursue it! Getting kids hooked on this stuff, without spoiling them on giant bucks at a young age, is a key to the future of hunting.
