I started the season with a goal of a solid 8pt. Age wasn't really an issue but I had hoped to nudge up my traditonal standards.

Passed early in the seasonon the first bucks I have ever actually " let walk ". Then sighting dropped off and in a PANIC to shoot a deer any deer I arroweda small six and I'm still very pleased. It's a tough game we play.

I tried and I will again but I wonder how many lowered their standards as the clock ticked down.
