9 point
In the recent years I switched to filling tags and not passing any deer which presents a high percentage shot opportunity. This year, I've captured night time photos of an 8-point and this 9 point both of which I believe are 2.5 years old. If I get a shot opportunity, they will likely get a pass from me in hopes they make it through the hunting seasons and the winter.
The 9-point rack looks bigger in this picture than it is. I have other pictures just not with me now. Nice deer though

I shoot for meat mainly. We have plenty of does where I hunt so letting the bucks go till they become wall hangers is easy. If I don't have a deer and its the last weekend though all bets are off. Last year I watched at least four 2-3 year old 8 pointers walk. Couple more years and they will be wall hangers. Hope they made it to this year.
