I think it all deoends on what you want. I shot a buck last year that would be hard to top for a while. I personaly think 8 point or better where I hunt. But if an outstanding 6 point came by I may be tempted. Especialy with my bow.

For me that makes a big difference with what I'm hunting with. With my bow a smaller buck may need to worry. With a shotgun...I may be more picky. Also depends on how long I get to hunt.

I generaly try for a mature deer. doe or buck
