I guess that one of my main goals every season is taking two deer for food. There are many does around here, so that is really hardly ever a problem. 99% of the time I will let anything less then eight points walk right on by. But if I have not gotten two deer (does) by the last weekend of the season, I will take a smaller buck (but not under six points). That doesn't happen often though. I think maybe once in the last seven year.
