Default My First Buck.....

Well I finally got one and now know what buck fever feels like....... I shot this 7 pointer at 7:40am on opening day of rifle season in sullivan county new york(3h). I know it aint a big seven pointer but It is still a buck and I am proud of it. I have shot a couple of does and now my first buck. Hopefully more to come. I have set the standard on my property now that all my fathers friends,father,my brother in law and myself have aggreed on. We will now only take 6 pointers or higher and if you shoot anything less you have to put $150.00 towards the taxes on my land. They dont like it too much but I now want bigger than a seven pointer. Its not that im only there for the head but I know there are and could be more bigger deer. My brother in law last year shot a big 8 pointer and 2 of my fathers friends shot decent 10 pointers so I know they are there and I want to give the younger deer a chance to get bigger. Anyone think this is too harsh?
