Since you're new to the sport, you'll probably want to take any good buck that comes along. A six or eight pointer, etc.
Guys like Iowanian and I have been hunting for quite some time. (30 years here)
We're looking for that monster 7x7 or larger, (aka wall-hangers). I finally got my monster buck last year. He was a 13 pointer, 7x6 and weighed in at nearly 250. I've been sitting in trees for years waiting for a buck like that.
Edit: Do me a favor and don't turn into one of those douchebags that shoots from their car or doesn't give two shits about ethics.
Only pull the trigger if you're sure.
If you wound one, track it until you get it.
Ok... I'm off the soap box now.
