I shot a 1.5 yr old last year with a broken leg. I'll shoot the next one I see like that, too. Personal preference....and I'd have no regrets.

In '06 I shot(2) 2.5yr olds and a 3.5 yr old. No regrets. I was just starting out in bowhunting.

In '07 I also shot a 4.5yr old.....which is "more" along the lines of what I'm "targeting" (anything 3.5 and up).

"IF" something else tickes my fancy, though (say a 6 pointer....bigger than most 8 pointers I've seen, here).....I reserve the right to shoot it, naturally.

I won't know until it steps in front of me......but my "target" buck is anything 3.5yrs old or older......regardless of headgear.
