I concur, having had six kids I have hunted with that buck is alright & he should save the skull cap.
My oldest boys first buck was a small one as well, my younger boy pictured has gotten two nice ones last couple rifle seasons.
Congrats on the buck with a bow.
We take the deer to the local butcher he makes steaks & burger meat - when I hunt out of state on someone elses land I give the meat to the landowner if they want it - I am really only after the hunt & it keeps the landowner happy amd my return trip assured
Had to throw a picture of my youngest daughter with her buck which really made my day to be in on that hunt with her.
