Over the years I have set some real high standerds for myself I will only shoot a deer or elk that has lost all of its spots. and it is still breathing
But this year the state has raised my standerds a little for me. For deer in most units (all the ones that I hunt it) it has gone from a hair tag to forked horn or better. But this is ok with me I like shooting bucks more because you not only get meat but you get the bonus bragging antlers.
