A 5 1/2 year old buck is a trophy in
anyones book. Score means nothing
when it comes to the difficulty of taking
that animal...age/experience, on the
other hand, is a different story. Though
I have gone several years before without
tagging one, I always hold out for a
mature buck and love the challenge it
brings. I've been lucky enough to take
some nice bucks with a bow and the one
I'm proudest of is a nontypical I shot
last year. He was 5 1/2-6 1/2 yrs old and
scored a big fat zero...even though his
right side has over 100" of antler. Just
because a buck doesn't score well doesn't
make him any easier to put a tag on.

Congrats to you<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>. Can't wait for the pics.
