RE: What is the smallest buck you would take?
10 years ago, I hammered whatever came by. Nowadays, generally speaking, around 130" and 3.5 years old is my minimum goal.
As far as inches go, I will stray from the 130" minimum under two circumstances:
1.He hasunique looking headgear, and...
2. He's at least 3.5 years old.
I would shoot a 2.5 year old or youngerif:
1. He was injured.
2. He had a unique coat (albino or piebald)
3. He was 140" or better which is possible, but not likely where I hunt.
