Silver nice room pal, most of those kills in Northern, MI? Damn good if they are
due to tough hunting up there.
No Tony, just the 2 the Girls are holding and the ones on the left and right on the back wall. The one on the right is my Wifes.
She has another good one at the taxidermist right now we need to go pick up.
The one in the center back wall is from Kentucky, and the ones you can see on the left are from Kansas.

For me anything in the 130 range will open season but i wont hesitate to shoot something unique that may score less.

RE: "Shooter" bucks... what does it mean to you?
 
I've been pretty lucky the last handfull of years to have gotten a few deer (Bucks & Does)...
This year I am looking for a 3.5 year or older buck that would fall in the 120"+ range.
However, my doe tag will probably get filled before this happens, this way I'll have more patience with my goal.;)
Another thing I'll consider is if it's getting closer to muzzle/rifle season, as we all know, this brings out the additional pressure
and might make me think about taking anything over a basket 6 pointer before the war zone starts???
Depends on my sighting as well!

3.5 and 120" +
Preferably closer to 130", but I'll give myself 10" of ground shrinkage. ;)

Im still pretty new at this game so I dont have as high of ambitions as soem of you guys.

I have a goal to kill a buck over 100" with my bow next fall. That may not seem like a big deal to alot of you guys but i would be thrilled:D

I've set my standards a little high for this year after finding a set of sheds scoring around 156, so he's my shooter buck for this year. But normally, 140+ is my standard. Which I have yet to kill yet.

I get a bunch of tags for Does so When it comes to Buck time I usually wait for a big one, Bear in mind big to me is 8 points or more (no inches here) I am just not patient enough to wait for the Big Papa to come strolling through I get to excited.
