So what if you shoot something bigger, mount the next bigger one also. I won't shoot a deer smaller than anything I have on my wall. I guess if I tracked one all day and finally got a shot at him, I might a drop a deer that was special like that. But as a rule I pass up shooting anything smaller than my best deer. I have had to let a few go, including a nice 8 this week because I didn't have enough time to evaluate him. But hell he'll probably be there next year.
