Default what would you do??

ok this year was PAs first year for ARs..they didnt apply to me and i could shoot anything i wanted that was a deer..and was tagged with both a buck and a doe tag so i was good..took my doe then a basket rack 6pt buck..about 10inch spread..(i had to measure to prove mine bigger than my friends lol) not a terrible first buck exspecially in PA....he was AR legal for that area i hunt...next year the ARs dont apply to me but i am going to start bowhuning and hunting alone so i will have alot more time to hunt and locate bigger bucks and all that fun stuff that comes with taking a nice buck...bow season runs from the first saturday in october i think clear untilsometime in january i think so i got alot of time just after school..plus saturdays and " sick" days lol..i should be driving by the secodn or third week of bow season so i should be mobile...if not the area here has some nice bucks i can walk to..but ARs say 4pt to a side...i think it would be kinda neat to set the bar at my buck this year and say none littler...which when ARs apply to me shouldnt be a big deal...but for that one year i have a chance to get another buck under my belt regaurdless of size..but i took 3 does and a buck already..i dont feel i need more deer under my belt and will have 3 doe tags next season for varios areas so i can use them to get a bow kill under my belt...i think thats what im going to do and start becoming more selective...i really want big racks on the wall...just something about them antlers...so magical the way they make you feel...what would you do? i do see myself as a more of a trophy hunter in the future... start now??
