Nothing about Nothing

Thoughts? Mixed feelings here. Back in the day you referred to a buck as a 6 point, 8 point or a wall hanger LOL! Nowadays it IS about score. I will never have any of my bucks officially scored but a rough score gives you some perspective on how big it was. Hmm

This should have its own thread...I say shoot whatever trips your trigger. Also, depending on where you live and what kind of trophy potential is in your area determines what is a good buck. If you live in a area that doesn’t have 160” deer running around, you’ll go your entire hunting career without ever killing a deer if that is your goal. When I first started hunting..any buck was a trophy to me. Also, a buck I’d shoot in jersey, I wouldn’t ever consider shooting in Ohio. Ohio has MUCH bigger bucks than where I live. I’ve killed well over 100 bucks in my lifetime and shooting a four point just doesn’t do it for me. I’d rather shoot a doe. A 130-140” buck here is like a 170” buck in Ohio....I’ve been hunting since I was 14 and have only killed two here in jersey that break 140” gross. A 100” eight point is a decent buck around these parts....120” and you’re talking wall hanger.
