If I've took a couple of deer already, I won't "need" the meat. I wouldn't put him on the wall and I don't necessarily believe in "cull" bucks.
I would pass. He may turn your "ok" spots into a better then ok spot next season.
BUT.. If you want to shoot that sucker, and he flickles your pickle, shoot him.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

More I look I don't think he's a cull. I think rack is broke. I want to shoot the one what did the breaking.

Troy is right. Don't shoot it if you don't have a definitive need for it. Same as any game.

Yeah I think I'll pass. I'll look good to see if he's deformed or broke but it looks broke to me.

He was an 8 until I seen this pic. Last I have of him was when it was cold a couple weeks ago, if it's the same deer. If so, he has broken his left brow tine also.

Personally, I wouldn't because I'm not sure of his age. I actually think he is probably a younger buck.
Would I have a problem with someone shooting him for the meat? Not at all towards the end of the season and the need is there. I would rather they shot a doe if they were hunting with us, but I wouldn't have heartburn too bad if that is their only buck.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

He wouldn't have been a bad looking buck if he wasn't broke. He's got potential. Gonna keep running the camera. Maybe I'll see a "keeper." I've said I wasn't going to shoot unless I was taking him to the taxidermist. But I really like to shoot... This pic was at 10 at night. But if I see one in daylight it'll probably be him.

Looks like he broke off his main beam and has a brow and remnant of a main beam left. I have what used to be a ten point on my property exactly like that and have passed on him several times so maybe next year. Now if your hungry then by all means shoot him if your wanting a wall hanger then wait till next season

If you have to ask us, I would personally pass. Shoot what makes YOUhappy. Don't give two chits what others think of your deer
There is 2 different high fence. 1 small and one big! Mine was free range in the big pen and was not a breeder buck. Why does it have to be twisted around??

It's not a good pic. When I first saw I thought it was deformed. Now I think it's broke. He gets a pass if I can get some decent weather and see some deer.
