[QUOTE="greengiant, post: 1727209, member: 99935"] Can't tell from the photograph. Antlers are not the only thing to determine a kill or no-kill decision. If the large antlered buck was older, past his prime, I would take him. If he was younger, in his prime, I would "reluctantly" pass on him, in hopes he would pass his genes on to future generations. Having run the largest whitetail deer club in our area for quite a few years, I can tell you, herd management works and getting most members to practice it, is the hardest job of all. It is a shame, but, Heavy Fines were the most effective means of obtaining compliance! It always amazed me at the vast number of hunters who, even after years of hunting, had absolutely no knowledge of how to determine a mature Buck from a young adult. They had never looked beyond the antler spread. [/QUOTE]
