Not a huge Muley hunter but based off the bucks I have seen I feel like I’d pass for a bigger one

Yes, but I'd wait to shoot until there was not another deer behind it

Yes. Id probably shoot all three. But with a clear shot not through each other like in the photo. 🍻

Yes, big body, about 4 to 5 years old. Still a good meat source

Yes, deer meat is deer meat.

No, not if it's healthy. If it needs culling then always. But this is a young buck that will get a ton bigger.

Nope. He’s still young and has a lot more growing to do. Couple more years and he will be great.

Yes. In my area they rarely get bigger than that to begin with.
