Here in NE Vermont and also in upper NH & Maine, weight is everything. With every deer I ever shot the first question anybody asked was "how big was he? (meaning how heavy after field dressing)
Big "horns" as they are call here, are a bonus. :dunno:
So yes I would have shot him. No question.

That's the way it was here where I grew up here  in Iowa Bob, but boy has that ever changed.

Obviously all about personal preference.  Some consider that a cool trophy.

Personally though, no - he would have gotten a pass.  That being said, I hunt private land with a TON of does, so no question about not getting enough meat, and I feel confident that a good number of the bucks I let go have a chance to be around the following year.

A buck like that one? Heck Yah! If it was a spike or fork with or without a busted of side, no. I'm not that desperate for meat. Besides, If I look around, I might find the broken off side and glue it back together.  :thumbsup:

No since it was snapped off but yes if it was genetics. Why? Because I can shoot unlimited does where I am for meat.
