RE: You absolutely do not have to!!!
i mentioned that my doe was on the skinny side but that doesn't mean that she wasn't a trophy in my eyes...any critter i kill (especially with a bow) is a trophy and just because i use adjectives such as small,skinny, little,etc. doesn't mean that i am not a hunter...I AM A HUNTER in every sense of the word!!!
edit: after reading the rest of the replies i do understand what you are saying to a point and i'll admit that i haven't posted a pic of my doe because i didn't want to get cracked on but she is a trophy to me...i also would NEVER crack on a first time hunter no matter what...they have to be encouraged to no end cause we need all the new hunters we can get.
