The last time i actually got to hunt and scout nearly fulltime i had a game plan for the group that i hunt with and i would say it went pretty well. 5 of us shot 6 p and ys between 140 and 190 gross. But yes i know what you mean about goals. I like seeing deer so does really dont bother me and i do not feel there is a reason to shoot them where im at. I think my goals are to hunt hard... find a mature buck and hope he is what i am wanting. But score really isnt an issue. If they are 4.5 or better they are getting shot.
