Default RE: Passing On Bucks- Food For Thought

ORIGINAL: rybohunter

From what I've experienced most people in PA poach. Meat hunters & rack hunters, neither one has that market cornered.

But as for the original question, my intent is to hold to my rough shooter standard (120"+ and 3.5 yrs old) and be prepared to go buckless. I've never been tempted with a tweener though to know if I have the will power to hold out. Now I was prepared to shoot something smaller than normal, but still not too small this past gun season because I wanted to take a buck with my revolver. Also depending on my plans for the late season if I have my longbow in hand any decent sized buck will get an arrow sent his way as I'm still looking for my 1st kill with trad gear.
Your self imposed standard is realistic, and at the same time, moderately challenging for our region. That's a good minimum for a "PA trophy." Just curious how long you've been following that standard and how successfulyou've been in attaining it.
