Make your club TEN point or better to many Eight points killed WELL
Best to not be focused on antler points and size
and be focused on age of buck. Learn how to age
deer on the hoof and have a group/club that also
knows how to do that and have everyone focus on only killing
whatever age group they agree is the minimum age.
For trophy purposes that would be minimum 4.5 years
old and some would say 5.5 minimum.
I passed a 130 inch 10 point this year that I
knew was only 3.5 and I know he will hit 140
next season, maybe more if I can get some high
protein food into him.
The flip side of these kinds of trophy standards
is that you have to accept the fact that you will
probably never see most of the 3.5s you are passing up
the following season.
Edit: you will probably not even ever see most of
the 2.5s you pass up the next year.
