I chose personal best. I would rather pick a above average antlered buck with a fat body than a big Antlered skinny buck.

I voted personal best. Won't be hard to beat considering I have never shot one. I am leaving at 4:00am for ALW for deer and elk will be back on Friday hopefully with my personal best for either species.

Let me know where you hunt.  I'm coming up on Friday so I don't want to stomp around the same area you did.

ALW high hunt or regular season?

There's a reason they call it hunting, not killing.

Last year was my first in 20 without a single big game animal.  Also very lean on leave time at work.  Making a Wyoming meat run, will shoot a buck and three doe deer as quickly as possible, bone 'em out and head back.  Then, hunt weekends with the hordes in rifle season.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Any deer is good for me, but I would definitely like a personal best as right now that is a pencil sized buck!

I've got to go with meat in the freezer as I've yet to harvest a deer or elk in Washington yet.  I guess that would make it a personal best too.  Probably have to call it a trophy as well.  Jeez, if your standards are low enough, you can squeak through any survey...

Trying for my first deer, so just want anything legal. Doing the high buck, but mainly for the adventure. If that fails, tri-cities area for mule deer.

Plenty of meat in the freezer. Gardner late hunt tag. Holding out for something special.

Meat in the freezer, my apartment walls aren't big enough for a trophy and I have never gotten a deer before.

 Assuming I will be able to get out this year, I have a two year rule for venison. This is year two, so if it's brown and legal, it's down.
