I have "goals" that I want to meet RE: herd reduction.....but "standards, I'm finding, take the fun out of deer hunting FOR ME.
I am going to have FUN, next year.

A doe when the opportunity presents itself. Buck standards have moved up considerably even though I would not consider myself a trophy hunter, because there are not alot of trophy bucks around here!

I'll shoot any Doe without spots if I really need the meat! This year I let a few young ones and 1 older Doe walk during the late season. Didn't need the meat. I have set somewhat of a standard for bucks, he needs to be bigger than the last one I killed! But at the same time it depends on the situation and the experience of that moment, when and what he is doing when he is in range! I pretty much kill Deer for my own experience and proud of what ever I kill!
