RE: what would you do??
My opinion is to go with the moment. If a nice big doe walks by then take her if you want to. Then you have meat in the freezer and you can pursue whatever size buck you want. If you have not taken anything larger then a 6 point then I encourage you to start there.

All I will say is I gun hunted for over 30 years, before I started bow hunting, even though I saw hundreds of deer hunting with a bow, it took me three seasons to get my first with a bow, it was a doe, and with the exception of a huge 8 pointer I killed in 74, to me it was a trophy of a lifetime!!!

RE: what would you do??
So you want to be a trophy hunter, eh?
What makes you think that YOU deserve to be a trophy hunter?!?!?!
What makes you think you have earned the right to hunt trophies?
What makes you feel that you' ve put in your time? Your training?
That' s right! TRAINING! T-R-A-I-N-I-N-G. According to my membership bylaws it clearly statres........" All members of the Loyal Brotherhood of Trophy Hunters, S.W. Penn State Chapter, Local 3030 must receive atleast 100 hours of training in the art of trophmentation. Only training by certified and listed schools of trophmentation will be recognized. Said schools are to be licensed under the augments of a standing officer or board member who has a degree of no less than Doctorite in the field of trophmentation................."
Are you properly educated?
Do you think you are ready? Do you think you can cut it?
Do you think your skin is tough enough?
If you think you' re ready to step up to the plate and can provide proof of completion of one of the many, fine schools of trophmentation, fine,
