It was your dads decision to shoot it. i dont see what there is to be mad at. a 130 class deer is very nice for a bow.

i'd shoot a 130" buck weather it be gun or bow, and that would be one hellofa buck by my standards!

i have only killed 4 bucks with my bow, the largest being a tad under 115, so no i havent killed a pope and young buck yet but, 2 years ago my dad, uncles and I decided to only shoot mature bucksand i have tried to stick to it. The year befroe last hunting season i shot a buck with my gun that i made a mistake on and i will never do that again, i got bashed so badly for shooting him because he was only a 3 1/2 year old....he scored 141 2/8. we had trail cam pics of this buck and everyone agreed to let him live another year(including me), the shot was a far one and i couldnt recognize him in the heat of the moment.

plus my whole house is filled with 125-140 inch bucks and my dad wants to get our cabin filled with monsters, not just average bucks

I'm not trying to rip on your dad here but man your only 15 years old I think? No one should be getting ticked at you for shooting a smaller buck at your age!!
