My personal goal is to harvest mature bucks (3.5 or older). Usually where I hunt, they will be 8pt or better by then, but if it is a big racked, mature buck, IMO he' s a shooter regardless of # of points. I really don' t judge them by score, as we don' t get many high scoring bucks where I hunt at all. To take a P&Y qualifier would be quite a feat of success. There' s only been 3 ever taken in my county. A good deer where I hunt is over 110" . They are getting better though, after 5 years of QDM.

Man you guys that wait for 150" + class deer, wow...that must be awesome! Maybe someday!
