Ugliest deer ever...or trophy?

[Okie Marine]

Shoot or don't shoot? I like a little trash on a rack but this one might have taken it too far. I think he'd be a once in a lifetime deer, but maybe not something I'd hang over the fireplace, ya know? He was like this last year too on my property, never got a good shot on him though. What would you guys do if he walked under your stand?

That's a pretty gnarly unique animal right there... Would be a cool euro mount

Exactly what I was going to say before I saw your post. My FIL has a euro mount of a trashy antler set and it's pretty cool and different. Adds character to his den/game/hunting room.

I would definitely add it to my Wall of Dead Things.

Drop the hammer. He'd be a conversation piece, and if nothing else, he looks like good eatin.'

Eating usually isn't an issue as I always take a few deer a year, but I get picky with what bucks I shoot.

A euro mount would be pretty cool on this one, haven't thought of that. Maybe dipped in camo or something.

It's a Charlie Brown Christmas buck..............instead of tree. About every other year we'll have one that looks similar, and neither of us wants to burn a tag on them.

You know whats amazing. The quality of bucks we have in Oklahoma now! For those of you that can remember, think back as short as 15-20 yrs ago. We had plenty of deer, but you'd be lucky to get one decent 8 or 10 point on camera. Now they are freakin everywhere! If I don't have at least a couple of "shooters" on cam before season I am disappointed. LOL

Go back 25-30 years and you were lucky to see a buck period! My how things have changed.

I'd save him till after rifle season at least, then maybe burn a tag on him.
