Good question, Mauser.

For me....it's been easy. My first was a good 8 pointer for this area.....and my first 8 pointer ever. The second was a deer I had a history with.

It'll get tougher to make "mountable" status....but it'll also get tougher to decide to take bucks.

I only have two (mounts)....but they've both been "no brainers"...TO ME (many wouldn't reach for the bow on my two mounts....and that's fine). I knew as soon as I had them on the ground they were going to the taxi.

It'll get tougher and tougher to meet that criteria......and that's fine. I don't need a wall full of them. I see me with 5 or less in my life (whitetails).
