I have only hunted two whitetail seasons now. Last year I got a nice 8-point, this year a 9-point. Also, a doe. Anyway, back to your question; for me, I will only take a buck that is as good as or better than what I have already taken. I would rather let them grow to be bigger for next year. If that means that I might not get a buck some years, so be it, I would rather only take an animal when it is at its best. I do not just want to kill something just to kill it. That said; I think every hunter must decide for themselves what works best.
