It is just another thing for guys to compare and compete in- "mine is bigger than yours' or more unique..." whatever

To me it is more of the experience of killing bucks in front of running hound dogs. I dont care as much about the horns as most guys, but i still compare racks with my brother and a couple friends. We usually have a season-long bet on who can kill the most points total for the hunting season. It is more about the deer camps cook shacks decorated with local antlers and the stories behind them. I gotall of my antlers hanging around my shed, on display but it is more ofrespect for the animalthan an obsession with antlers.
