Anything with a nice rack

My hunting club unfortunately legal regs. I got to many yahoos that will if I don't. Our family's farm is QDM. So its 8 points or above. I really don't care either way on bucks or doe. I tend to prefer younger doe's for the taste of the meat though

Same. If someone asks for one I normally shoot the biggest doe I see

I have taken anything from spikes to 139” 11 pt. I used to hunt because of my love of hunting and we ate the deer. Now days I watch most of them because we don’t eat it as much. Usually I wait on a decent 16”+ width 8 or better but I have no qualms about any if I want it or have someone that does

His body makes me want to say 4 but the white in his face makes me want to say 5.

I would say 5 1/2 if he had a swayed back. Thick neck into his chest, brisket dropped, and pop gut. I really wanna say 4 1/2

depends on what I am seeing and whats on the cameras. Like to shoot a mature 8 pointer but will shoot a lesser buck if that is what is available

So would you shoot the one in my original post? He’s a straight 8

I shoot does for meat. The only time I will shoot a buck is if he is at least 2 1/2 and still has spikes or otherwise badly screwed up rack. In other words, cull bucks.

Is he pressured? will he make it til next season in your area? he 4 1/2 be really nice at 5 1/2 but if he is going down from adjoining land owners I would take him now if he has no chance

That property is for sale. Supposed to close November 20. So I am pressured to shoot him. Lol
