Hey mauser,

If you want to go for bigger racked deer, do what I do. Take the first buck that comes by that is bigger than your previous deer. In 7 years of hunting, I have shot 6 bucks. My first was right at 100" , then 110" , 115" , 130" 135" , and 143" . This year wasn' t the best for big bucks around here, well, thats not true. It was great in some of the areas around here, and just so so in my honey hole. I decided to break my rule and was hunting for anything that was Pope & Young. I got close with two different P&Y bucks but couldn' t connect, so, this was my first year without shooting a buck. It was actually kinda nice, I didn' t have to gut a buck or drag him out [:-][&:]

Whatever you decide to do, make sure it is what you want. If you want a little tip, try to harvest your three doe with your bow before drawing back on a nice buck. I get pumped up when a doe comes in, but man, when a buck comes in it gets ten times worse.
