I chose the 6 160-180 in ten years under the assumption this is based on md. If we’re talking whitetail, I’d take the same but really 10 over 150 would suffice as well.

I agree ....
MD VS WT
Mule deer I do want a 180+ buck.
WT .... I'll just fill the freezer.

I’ve killed plenty of bucks in my life, nothing approaching the 200” mark. I’d take the 220” deal and let the rest of the family take care of filling the freezer.

I'm truly a shoot it if I like it kind of guy. I grew up in the south and have probably killed 150 whitetails in my life BUT, we didn't have the caliber of bucks as WA/Id do. I saw 13 whitetail bucks on this past seasons hunt, I only considered one and never drew back. I grew up chasing whitetail and I need to nail a 150' before I go passing them up.  I'm not worried about meat, I kill an elk and blacktail every year. With the no bait law being passed, I bet a lot of hunters lower their standards this year, especially archers.
