[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5472004, member: 1409"] I'm normally not "targeting" any younger than 5 1/2. So this one appears to meet that. But I'm also normally not using a buck tag on something without very large & unique antlers. So this one doesn't make the cut right now (and probably never will). Would simply prefer someone else to get him. As the season progresses, my criteria changes a little. Generally, I raise my standards towards the end of season, thinking any buck which has survived to that point, has a good chance of being around next year, and everything a bit better. But also generally have no problem taking [I]ANY[/I] fully mature buck on the last day of season. Exception is commonly a broken up rack, especially a broken off main beam or G-2. A big part of my hunting satisfaction is having things for which to look forward next year, like a mature buck growing more & bigger sticker points. I look at every deer as a "trophy", either to be watched (passed) or taken home. Watching often provides more opportunity whether same day or next year. [/QUOTE]
