RE: What do you guys look for in a buck
I look for mass, tine length and number of points. I`d like to make a comment about leaving out the hunter`s name from record books. How could you tell which deer was scored? You have to have a name to identify the animal not just "the buck that scores 157 1/8".

I am also out for meat. Having said that, I would love to shoot a "book buck." However, that is not my primary objective when I go in the woods. If it happens so beit, if not, so beit.
I also would like to see the human names removed from the books. We are glorifying the man, not the animal.
Just list it like this:
Date, County, State, score.

RE: What do you guys look for in a buck
I always look for a buck that don't have spots on it. I sure would like to kill a really nice buck though. I have killed several 6 pointers, a few 7 pointers, and one 8 pointer, but none of them were real big. Last year I killed a doe in Tennessee before our season opened in Alabama. Then I killed one opening day and one the next weekend. I decided to hunt the rest of the season for a big buck. I found out later in the season that one of the land owners that lets me hunt wanted one to eat. I killed a 7 pointer for him and then hunted the rest of the season for "the big buck." I saw lots of does and little bucks but no big buck.

Glenn's the man!!! I wish Jay was around.....guess I'll have to set that one up for the next trip down! Maybe this time I can bring some moose steaks along. Susan and Rocky (SP) his two daughters where there. I am still in awe of his place, I just wish it wasnt moving!
I didnt talk the P&Y book with Glenn however. It would be interesting to hear what he has to say considering he is the founder, and how he feels the direction it has gone. After the morning in his shop and a couple hours with him, I bet I can guess or be resonably close!
The other thing that blows my mind is the many bowhunters that arent even aware of just who he is!
