It all comes down to what goals you have for the kind of animals you want to hunt.

If you want to hunt "booners" your best bet is to harvest mature 8pts and allow your 10s and 12s to reach their prime of 5 or 6 yrs old. You will even see animals that are better than 8s that don't possess the qualities required to reach 'boonerville' these would also be mgmt bucks if they don't fit in with your goals.

If you want to hunt deer 150 or better, this in my mind is where the mgmt. gets fuzzy, because if I have a 150 8pt and a 160 10pt in range.....I shootin' the 8. Not because he is a mgmt buck, but because he is PIG!
