Using my scenario (NH), as it's similar to "davidmil", NH isn't considered a "huge/antler" deer place.
Every year we have a good share that dress out well past 200+ lbs. and even a few over 250+.
Body size means as much to what many in New England / NH would consider a "big buck".
Inches of antler for the mature (3 1/2+) tend to be 100/110"-140" and the latter is considered "very big".
NH has had a few monsters, as any other state does, but large bodied deer turn us on also!
Now to your question...
It depends on what part of the season your talking about and a few variables, as follows?
Example - If I sat in my stand every other day for a month and didn't see anything of size, I would probably wack a 3 1/2 year old when he strolled by.
- If I had pictures or sightings of MANY big deer, I would probably get pickier.
- If there were a lot of hunting pressure in this area, along with many big deer, I would probably be pickey until 1-2 weeks before Muzzle / Rifle season begins. * Assumming your archery season is like NH which starts 9/15 and muzzleloader starts 11/1/08 and rifle is 11/12/08.

I'm sure you will figure it all out when the time comes, just don't have premature-bow-alation if you can help it.
Always remember the cliche' of "TAG SOUP" and sometimes you'll have to eat it to get to your personal goal!
