Is there a wrong answer? You did say personal so I assume we can answer it if we wish to!At home a 2.5 year old or older 8 pointer or larger.
In Idaho (rifle) a 3.5 year old or older 8 pointer or better.

It's just a simple question, not a debate!

After many years of bowhunting and never getting a buck I may drop my standards. I think I may go for a minimum of 4 on one side.

Well, this is my first year bow-hunting. Before I decided to participate in the HNI Bowhunting Contest, I would have said that the first legal deer that walked by was going down just to get that first bow kill.
Since I have teammates that will be counting on me, I'll DO MY BEST to hold out for a good8 point or better. Now we'll just have to see if I can keep my composure.

This year, probably going to have to be 120" or better. Past couple years i have been trying to let them grow a little more. Last year it had to be bigger than the others on my wall. I ended up shooting a 160" 10pt. Would like to say that again, but it'll probably be hard to.

I would say at least 4 per side, although I wouldn't be above slingn' an arrow at a mature 7 point.
