For me they are milestones of my life and hunting career. They all may not be trophys to most but to they are to me. Every time I look at them I remeber everything about that day, the hunt the weather and the place. To me they are my personal collection of memories,all I have to do as look at one to relive that day.
My thoughts exactly! I have EVERY set of antlers from every buck I've killed since 1975, even a couple of spikes.

I love the anticipation of seeing a buck with BIG antlers and am willing to let lesser bucks walk. I didn't think like that in my early years.
