I suppose I just have to laugh a little at the thought of spending in excess of $1000 ona hunting bow (I say I have to laugh, because I have just a little over $500 in my entire set-up), then not wanting to spend $350-400 on a mount of a beautiful animal that you killed with it to preserve the memory of that hunt. I shoot a bow because I enjoy archery, but I hunt because I enjoy the challenge, the meat, AND the trophy. I have only 2 buck mounted on my wall because I've only shot 2 that I thought were worthy of that. When I get an opportunity at a nice 140+ deer, I will shoot another buck, and then I will have another nice mount to add to my "small" collection. I do however get the hides tanned from the does I kill, and I've given them to landowners, family, and kept a few for myself. They make nice decorations if you have the outdoors motif(sp?) as we have in our home.
