What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

I was curious whatyou guys consider a......"good buck", a "bigbuck", and a "monster buck" based on the P&Y scoring system?

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

Right now, in my woods a "good buck" would be 100 or bigger, "big buck" 130 or bigger, "monster buck" 150 or bigger.

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

I would say in my area anything over 130" would be a "good buck." And anything over 150" would be a "monster buck."

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

Well, here in the state of Arkansas a mid 120 is a good buck. Abig buck would be in the 140's an a monster would be from 150 to 170's. We have had a few bucks that went from 165's an up to the biggest being 187. I thinks those days are slim now because we now longer havebean fields. I am speaking for around our camp in SW Arkansas.

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

In my area of NY a buck that is close to 100" is a "good buck", 100" to 120" is a big buck, and anything over is a "monster" but rare.

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

Not an exact science, but I would call 125-140 a good buck, 140-170 a big buck, and it has to be booner to be a monster.

By the way, what is your breakdown, Buckeye?

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

Mine is very similar to yours.....

I would call 120-140 a good buck..... 140-160 a big buck..... and 160 plus a monster.

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

around here, I would say 110-125 is a good buck, 125-150 is a big buck, and 150 and up is a monster!

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

For me, a good buck would be a respectable 8 point....80+ inches. Big buck would be 130+, and a monster is 160+.....

NOT that I've ever seen one though...[&:]

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

Ditto my friends.

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

A 125-140 is a good buck, 150-170 is a big buck, 180+ a monster.

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

110 to 130- Good or Bigbuck

130-160- Great Buck

160+- Monster Buck

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

120 - 135 is a good buck.

135 - 155 is a big buck.

155 plus is a monster.

Our area runs heavy on 4 pts ( WC ).A 140 or better is a monster here.

About my range too.

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

125 - 139 = a good buck
140 - 169 =A BigBuck
170+ = A MONSTER

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

Ditto, but everyone knows they don't come that big in Ohio. You have to go to Florida for those size.

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

Depends on the species, really.

Whitetail;

120 - 130, good buck.

130 - 150, great buck.

160+, monster.

Mulie;

160 - 170, good buck.

170 - 180, great buck.

190+, monster.

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

around here 80-100 would be a good buck, 100-120 great buck,,anything over youve gotten VERY lucky

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

160+ monster, everything else is a great buck no matter what especially with a bow.

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

Honestly my ranking system is Deer ,Buck, Holy Sh!t. But as defined by P&Y I'd say 130 is good (or big)150+ is Monster.

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

In my state (NC) our bowhunting association (NCBA) recognizes any buck over 100" as a "book" buck. I'll concur that a 100" buck in MY part of the state is, indeed, a GOOD buck.

I've never seen one that would go over 100" (other than the one I took, las year). It's hard for me to have an opinion on "great" and "monster".

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

I would say that a nice buck is 100-115, a big buck would be somewhere in the 115-130 and a monster buck would be anything over that. Hopefully this year i will show you all what a superduper monster looks like!:D

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

good buck would be a 120, huge buck would be 160+

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

these are good bucks in my book

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

Same here

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

That is exactly what I would say.

Statistically it is a genetic freak that even has the potential to get over 160. So, to get one over 160 not only do you have to be in the right place because of skill, you have to be lucky that one like that is even around.

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

I would agree with Buck Magnet as well. 110-125 is good, 125-150 is big (150 is REAL big), and anything above that is a monster. We've got the genetics and the food here, but the age structure is lacking.

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

110-125 is a good buck, 125-145 is a big buck, anything over 145 is huge to me

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

x2

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

around here a 130-150 is a good buck a 150-180 is a big buck anything over 180 is a monster... i live in illinois so we have higher expectations, lol j/k but we do have a lot of big deer here.

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

I live in Florida , a buck with horns , is a good buck here .

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

good bucks here.. 3.5 years old.. measuring from 125-140 gross

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

big bucks, 4.5 and older.. 150-160's

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

monsters..5.5 and older....grossing 170-180's ....... 190 and up to me are world class bucks.. for a bowkill

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

Shed33, is that last pic just a head?

BTW, you've got some big bucks out your way.

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

yes head and cape.. killed him in nearly 100 degree temps.. Sept 1 ..he had just shed his velvet too..

I ended up putting him in a fall cape and adding a little color to his antlers since he hadnt rubbed

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

You have to watch shed with both eyes....he's the road kill picker upper guy.;)j/k lol

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

gee thanks.. teammate! :D

RE: What do you consider.... (big buck)
 

"110-125 is a good buck, 125-145 is a big buck, anything over 145 is huge to me"

That's about how I put em too for my area.

Now if I was talking all encompassing whitetails across the country, I'd put 125-140 good buck, 140-165 BIG buck, 165+ monster buck.
