RE: What is the smallest buck you would take?
 

This is the smallest I have taken; I took this pic right before he got arrowed. Nice rack, but not a lot of meat.

145and up here right now I would take a 140 after gun season standards drop a little

RE: What is the smallest buck you would take?
 

I started the season with a goal of a solid 8pt. Age wasn't really an issue but I had hoped to nudge up my traditonal standards.

Passed early in the seasonon the first bucks I have ever actually " let walk ". Then sighting dropped off and in a PANIC to shoot a deer any deer I arroweda small six and I'm still very pleased. It's a tough game we play.

I tried and I will again but I wonder how many lowered their standards as the clock ticked down.

A wise man once said a "cocked bow had no conscience".

Anything legal with a bow (probably, I might change my mind when put in the situation.) With a gun it's gotta be something legal, and that makes me happy. Which for me is usually right around 110". Next year my goal may be up to 120" though, we'll see.

RE: What is the smallest buck you would take?
 

Each animal I would take depends on too many variables to give an answer in inches, on the ranch that I hunt we hunt for mature deer 4.5-5.5 or better is what we like to see come off the place... However, I just took a 4.5year old buck that should have been waybetter than he was, he probably wont make more than 80"..... I also passed three different 4.5 year old bucks that would go int he low 120's..... ButI know that I will have a real good chance of seeing these deer next year....We really aren't into inches on our place as we are more concerned with shooting mature deer...

RE: What is the smallest buck you would take?
 

I envy a lot of you guys, holding out for 140+ inch bucks. I have seen a total of 5 bucks in the last 4 years that would score over 90. Luckily I shot one of them that scored around 92-95(not real good at scoring), the others were like ghosts, here one minute and gone never to be seen again. I would shoot a 90-100 inch buck in a heartbeat.

RE: What is the smallest buck you would take?
 

Still with out!! My 130" minimum will not change though, little guys will still get a pass on my land. It's looking more and more like tag soup this year for me. Pass the salt and pepper please, tag soup doesn't have much flavor to It!!!;)

However some day I will shoot a big spike (at least 6" spikes) and a big forky (has to have big forks) and also a big 6 point just so I can put them on my wall. I haven't seen any big spikes, big forks, big 6 points that I would put on my wall yet that I've had In range.

at least one antler, 3inches or better ...... I didn't see a choice for that ;)
