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

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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...[&:]
