I don't what to do, Deer season ends the 21st, I have been getting a lot of does in on my trail cam, and more recently a 9 point, but he's young. I don't know if i get a chance, take a doe, My brother advised me to not shoot the 9. Just would like some input from the more experienced hunters  Thanks, |

Can’t eat the antlers and small ones don’t look as nice on the wall as big ones.

Once you take the wrapper off, they all taste great!

Yeah i agree with P and Elk. If you want it for meat, then shoot a young one (female) if you want a trophy, then ask yourself what do you want in a trophy. If the one you are looking at at any given time does not come up to your concept of a trophy then let him grow.

Shoot a doe for meat if you want.. don't rule out shooting the smaller buck though. I usually will pass on smaller bucks now. But I can remember my early years of hunting and I probably got as much joy shooting a spike back then as I do shooting a nice 10 point now.

Well, you have to know my older brother, if i shoot this 9 that's young, I'll never hear the end of it, If he goes 1 more year he'll be nice looking buck. I guess I'll take a Doe when they come in, Or if any of you think other wise, because we like to have the meat for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Labor day etc.
Thanks fellers!
