Does need to be at least 1.5 years old and 110+ pounds dressed for me to shoot. Bucks I want at least in the upper 140's if not 150's mainly looking for something at least 4.5 years old and in west central Illinois a 4.5 year old buck can be easialy 150+. Weight doesnt really matter Ive shot P&Y bucks that dressed from 170 all the way up to 250lbs.
