For me in Ohio I stick to shooting a mature buck (hopefully no less than 3 1/2 years) that's got at least 2 of the following: Out past his ears, great mass, unique character to his rack.......OR if he does something really memorable and I get caught up in the moment :biggrinjester:

At least I'd like to think that way anyways!! LOL

In Michigan, we still try not to shoot young bucks but it's becoming difficult not to when we see 80% bucks and only a few does/yearlings. At least it seems that way on a couple properties. All young, under 2 1/2 with the exception of one big buck we spotted, but he's Michigan smart and I don't have time for that LOL!!
