I'm with ya Little Cheif. I would have probably taken something smaller but, now I will try to hold out for something larger.

Last year I met my goal of shooting a buck with at least four points on one side.

This year I'll stick to four points on both sides.

Im after a buck that will gross 125" or better. Points or age will not matter.

First half of the season must have at least 8 then as the season dies off i lower my standards just so i can get some meat in the freezer

No spikes or does. Everything else better no come anywhere near me.

I am looking for 120" or bigger. I am yet to get a book buck.

anything that gives me a shot this is my first year

Last year I imposed an eight point rule on myself and passed on a small six ( let'em go to let'em grow ) sorta speak , I ended up not filling my tag and letting my team down in the contest.
This year I'm still holding on that same eight point rule but as the season comes to a close I'll will break down and settle for something smaller just to score one for my team this time.

Honestly, my goal every year is to take an animal that goes 125" or better. This year, with my injury and 2 weeks, I'll take the first buck I feel is 100" or better.

I take no 1.5 year olds so it's more age related than antler size. You can tell by some of my past deer, the broken rack, the similiar one on my bday that I'm not so much into antler size as I am into the memory of the hunt and the age of the animal. The last 5 bucks I've taken have been 3.5, 2.5, 3.5, 2.5, 2.5.

for me this will be myu first year bow hunting and my third hunting all togather i go more for size then antlers if hes a good size i will drop him but i plan to take does untill i see a4per side or 8 point for my first buckmy first year ikilled a nice size buck that was about 8 or 10 from 80 yards with a 12 ga but i got my truck stuck and when igot backthe guy that gave me a ride to town went back and stole him i did not even get to take the pic so i do notcount him nothing since
