My standards vary greatly dependent on where exactly I am hunting, when I am hunting and a host of other variables... On some heavy hunted public properties I will shoot a 2 year old, yet there are times and places where I will pass on a 3 1/2 year old 160 class 10 point and shoot a 140 class 5 year old 8 point... I really could care less what others think. Hunting is a personal thing. You have to set your own goals. I listen to others opinions, and weigh there thoughts, but ultimately its me who has to answer to myself for my decisions.
