How i decide is how big it is. This year i got a beautiful 8 pointer and it also was my first buck so i was definetly getting it mounted. But even if i want my first i still would of. So for me as long as it has 8+ points i get it mounted

Where i hunt their are to many guys on our land and on neighboring lands to lets big 8 pointers walk away for the next year. But even before the new antler restrictions we had a rule of 6 pointer or better and that worked out really well. I think you need a large amount of land to really manage your bucks well
