I am a meat hunter through and through. I hae passed on a lot of little bucks, only to sh0oot the big doe that walks in right after a little buck. I do not care one bit about the score of the bucks rack. If a buck comes in that has a pretty rack and at least a 6 point frame with a 12 inch or better spread I will give very serious thought of taking him. I can feed my family a lot longer off a nice 145 doe than I can off that 95 pound spike. I try not to shoot any buck that isn't at least 2-3 years old. I also hunt state land 98% of the season.
