RE: What makes a shooter buck "to you"?
In GA, anything bigger than I got. My best bowkill is 113+.
In Illinois, I will try to take a buck that I think will net around P&Y Miminums. But if it gets toward the end of my hunt, I may lower my standards.
Overall, the most important thing is to enjoy the hunt and harvest an animal that will be a memorable experience for you, and that can be different for everyone.
My most memorable bucks can be summarized by the Ateam, "I love it when a plan comes together!" Most of you know exactly what I mean.
