Question for yall is would you take him if given the chance? You think it is an old injury, bad genetics? Would you let him walk for something that would "score" better?
After talking to you this summer about this buck multiple times, yes, I would. First, you and I have never taken a deer with our bow. Or bucks in Ohio. So there's two reasons. Another would be that you've got a history with this deer, which I think is a pretty cool thing and I'm jealous of you trail cam guys that build portfolios on these creatures before you shoot them (I'll get there someday). Finally, I think your dream of triple tagging deer or bucks in the OH/PA/NY triangle is pretty dang cool, but let's be honest with another in the oven, you might not get too many more years to feasibly do it. He's thrown that antler set two years now and it's not going to change.
I'd kill that deer! It'd be hard to pass on him in all of those circumstances, unless of course other situations allow for a different (bigger) buck.
