It honestly depends on where I am hunting. I mosty hunt public land where a 2.5 year old eight pointer is a good buck. This is because until this year you could not kill a doe during rifle season...It was Bucks only, and most of the decent bucks are taken out then by the orange army. I am working my tail off to cover a lot of the land to find where the big ones are and have an idea but just havent found one yet.

Now if I am hunting my uncles father-in-law's property(where i gun hunt) I am strictly mature 3.5 and older buck hunting and some doe managment.
