130 and up for me, if they are 3.5yr old or older.

My BS meter is maxxed out, and ready to overload.



Personally, I don't know how anyone who has ever shot a spike or a forkhorn or a scrubrackbuck in their pastcould ever look everyone here in the face and say "I would NEVER shoot anything less than a 130."

Newsflash - you already did.

I'll admit i have shot a deer that i would not take now. but to say it could "never happen" i couldn't honestly say that. I know that i do try to keep a very high commentment to my managment program but things do happen. But yes in the past I have shot smaller bucks, butnot with my bow.of course it has been almost3 years since i harvested my lastbuck which was with a rifle and that was a little 90" 8 pointer.

Yes, many years ago I did, I thought the question was relative to current date, not 5 or 6 years ago. If I shoot a buck that does not meet the criteria set forth by the management program on the current property that I hunt,I will be looking for a new place to hunt next year!!!! I like where I hunt, if I post a picture of a whitetail this year it will be at least 4 1/2yo.

I clicked 110-120 just because I'm no expert field judger. I would like to say I wouldn't shoot unless it was a solid 125"+ but sometimes in the heat of the moment, things look bigger than you think.
