I am not a trophy hunter by any means. In fact I have not even shot a mature deer yet. I have some questions for those who research new areas or pick areas to hunt that are buck hunts only.
If the area doesn't produce big deer often, older than 4-5 years old, how do you go about picking the size of deer to shoot?
if there is an antler point minimum, do you pass on the average bucks for the area, or wait for one that gives you no second look needed?
I know some people only want to shoot a buck that produces a certain score, but how many people consistently shoot 3 or 4 pt bucks in the 20-24"range when given the opportunity?
I know size and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I am just trying to get a feel of hunters that try filling their tags yearly by passing on smaller immature bucks. .
