It all depends on the area that I am hunting. This past year, I took a three point 160 pound deer, and it made my hunting season. I was hunting in NY and it was a slow seasonn for us. Antler growth was not good because of an early harsh winter the year before. I took 2 1/2 year old buck two daysa before shotgun season. I was extremely happy with the buck - not the biggest antlers of my life, but one that I will always remember.
