I don't hunt for antlers. I hunt for meat. But a good 8-10 point melanistic buck would be cool. Score not important. Same here. I don’t even really care much for Whitetail. But, it makes for good jalapeno cheese smoked sausage which lasts me all year long for breakfast’tasis. Currently, i am no longer on a fancy lease. So, my bucket list initiative is simply to shoot a Whitetail, any Whitetail.

Mine was a 160"+ off my ranch, did that in 2016. Now like you I'd like a 150+ 8pt.
For many many years, I had a goal of 160+ whitetail, 180+ muledeer and 350+ elk. I was lucky enough to get all 3 in two years. I know that was fun!. Hard work too.

I got my lifetime buck off of my smaller low fence place in western young county in 2021. The most satisfying part was being on my place. He scored 179 6/8. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/bVjfzX7l.jpg) Got the mount a few months ago. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/5F4e2evl.jpg)

For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

That's what I'm talking about, when you say smaller, how many acres are you talking about??? I hunt 35 acres in South Texas. It is quite productive, all low fence.
