I typically like to touch off on the 30-60 pound ones. Super tender meat and a whole lot easier to fit them inside the grill.

I like to shoot 2 does per buck killed. Neighbors kill enough bucks the way it is. Mature 4 1/2 bucks over 170 don't have to shoot 1 every year. Dont get big ones if you shoot all the up and comers, rather have a 170 than 2 150s.

I'm right there with you, I have to talk myself into it not out of it. As many as I've killed over 60+ years of deer hunting, it ain't no big deal. I still love to go but I might as well give them names because there's a good chance I'm not killing them

My standards are different for every property I hunt on. My family land which is really the only “ managed ” land I have a say on. We shoot as many does as we want and shoot and 3.5 yo 120” plus bucks. Which on 900 acres equals 12-15 does and 1-2 bucks per year. On public land I’m looking for any age 115”+ 8 point.

Yes, as I get older more deer het to live simply because I don't want the hassle of cleaning one before dinner.

I usually kill 5 deer per year. I kill what I judge to be 4 1/2 year old and older bucks plus however many does it takes to get to 5.

I usually kill a lot of time at my place. I have more fun on the tractor or 4 wheeler than sitting in a stand.

^^^^ this is pretty much what I have been doing for quite a few years

I ain’t killed a doe in Alabama in 10 years. I usually shoot 3.5 or older bucks but passed a nice 3.5 120 in deer last year hoping my son would get a shot at it.
