I'm more into age vs inches. (TWSS). I want to shoot 3.5 year old deer at a minimum 4.5-5.5 would be ideal, I don't care what the horns measure, as long as it is a mature deer. IMO it's better to shoot a 135" 4.5yo than a 140" 3.5yo.

I don't need a freezer full of meat to validate my hunting season. I also don't need horns hanging in my shed collecting dust. I want to hunt a wall hanger every year. Maybe a doe or two early then hunt that 150+ deer. This is the problem where I am now. Nothing big enough to get me pumped about going after. I still hunt every chance I get and love being out there but I like having that one that gets you obsessing.

As far as age, I really don't think most people can look at a 185-200 lb buck that's 140" and say with certainty it's a 3 year old and not 4 or vice versa. It takes seeing a lot of bucks on a reg basis in the wild to be able to make a comparison. I just haven't had that hunting spot that's given me such an opportunity.
