8 point that I feel like shooting. I can't sit here and say I won't shoot a buck unless he's got X inches of horn on his head. If he's an 8 point, and I decide I want that one.....I'm shooting him. Period.

In PA with my longbow I would like a simple 2.5yr old or better standards are subject to change with my mood and how I feel. Definitely not trophy hunting here in PA, I like the simple feel of just deer hunting.........in IL a 3.5yr old or better has been the goal.

BREATHING. As long as he comes by breathing he's got a good chance of being shot at.

on our illinois trip every yr. 140" on our lease in georgia 120" 125" is probably getting an arrow shot at it.

I have never attempted to label ###" of antler. Hopefully, we all shoot exactly what we feel like shooting. I have passed up deer I otherwise would have taken, simply because it was early in the season and I did not want to stop hunting yet. It is the hunting that does it for me.

I plan on holding out for something 130" plus. But if it is a unique rack or some freak I'll adjust on the fly.
