RE: Standards. Do they change season to season?
I cannot have these high standards that you all speak of; I am lucky to even have a buck in the area that I hunt. So unless I have seen a big boy earlier in the season (no camera) I am shooting the first legal buck that comes by. I am not a rack hunter nor can I afford to be as picky as many who can get a tag every year and see animal after animal.

RE: Standards. Do they change season to season?
Not really.....I get 3 buck tags and I've never filled all three...... Any 3.5+ deer will be shot, no questions asked....On some properties I will let 2.5 and under walk, others I will not......

RE: Standards. Do they change season to season?
My standards would remain as is.I will shoot doe's if I don't have an opportunity of the buck of my choosing.

RE: Standards. Do they change season to season?
Yes and no. I usually will shoot any P&Y deer that walks by me in this area b/c they are few and far between. But on a given day or year I may lower or raise my standards depending on the amount of time I have in the woods and the type of deer that I am seeing.

RE: Standards. Do they change season to season?
The point is a lot of guys set limits for themselves on what they want to shoot. If they aren't seeing any bucks above that limit in all of their scouting would they take the next best buck they are seeing given the opportunity, or hold out in hopes that there is a buck out there that meets their limits that has yet to be seen, however unlikely that may be. let those guys pick up a true bow and try going out and killing ANY deer with it = ====== perspective changes big time |
RE: Standards. Do they change season to season?
Why does it have to be that way? I’ll be hunting a lot with a “true” bow this season, and I’ll still be holding to a certain set of standards. I’m not going to attempt to whack a 1.5 yr old buck just because I am using a more difficult implement.

RE: Standards. Do they change season to season?
Unless the quality of bucks change in any one of my areas I will not change my standards. So far, the buck quality/size has remained pretty consistant in the spots that I hunt.

RE: Standards. Do they change season to season?
you made your own bow, shooting self arrows and your own trade points or knapped heads and STILL won't shoot less than xxx inches of antlers ?
I can easily prove its not about hunting trophy animals. Almost none of you trophy hunters who set high limits will shoot a 6 1/2 year old, 180" class buck that has one antler broken off at the browtine. Why ? Same smart animal, 1/2 the inches he'd normally score - horn porn fellows, just admit you're addicts to the Horn Porn |

The terrain, genetics, herd and age structure does. |

Just admit you are a traditional elitist with antler envy. [8D] |
