I normally don't shoot for points, I target mature deer every year, I look for 4 1/2+ year old bucks. If I don't see one, I am ok with that as I always get my doe's and am fortunate that we have a lot of exotics that I can spend my hunting time on as well. Two years agoI did not get a buck but was fortunate enought to get a nice Sika buck. This year I am really focusing on some huge Axis bucks that we have been seeing. Don't get me wrong, last yearI had a hard time passing a whitetail that was 3 1/2 that would have been the best whitetail that I had ever shot (inces wise) but I chose to hunt a property that they shoot mature deer on and I don't regret it as it will pay dividends sooner or later...
