A 100" deer is good for my area as well....if you see an 8 pointer within bow range, you need to seriously consider arrowing it, basket or not.

Sometimes I do fall for the big buck envy, but then I look around at all the blessings I have and figure who cares about big bucks. As a wise man once said, "Life's a garden. Dig it."

Glad to see young guys like yourselves getting out there thou!
Good luck!

I too am so tired of these shows I'm going to cancel my subscription the the hunting channels. I have lost so much respect for these guys some of whom I used to read their stories in the mags and think I wish I could hunt like them. Now I see that someone else does all their scouting stand placement checks the wind and drives them to their stand. all they do is make the shot. And believe me if someone was paying for me to shoot every day supplying all the equipment I wouldn't miss many shots either. I have more respect for a kid who goes out and does his own scouting and stand placement makes a shot does the trailing and comes home with a little skipper. At least he did it all himself. Hunting shows blah they can keep them

When I lived in Iowa yes I would see 3 or 4 B & C bucks a year and 125 inchers were a dime a doz in southern Iowa. Getting sat up on one and getting a shot was another thing. I live NE now I havn't seen a B & C buck in four years and a 125 inch buck is hard to come by.

I'm a little tired of these hunting shows that show these guys killing all these monster bucks. I have seen some nice bucks over the years but I have never seen a true booner in the wild. What do you guys see? What size buck would you be excited about ending your season on? For me it's 130+

I'm excited to end my season on whatever buck triggers my fancy no matter what size he is.
