ANY deer is a "REAL TROPHY"!!!!
Let me know when they put your little 2 pointer in the trophy record books
You can shoot it... Or you can pass it... Don't really matter to me. But passing a buck is not a missed opportunity. Its a stepping stone.
Let me know when putting your deer "on the books" gains any respect from me, it's probably not going to happen. If its legal to shoot, shoot it if you want, if you want to pass on it go ahead and pass on it. However don't think you are some how better than everyone else because you let deer walk by. That actually defeats the purpose of the DNR handing out tags, believe it or not they actually want you to kill those deer, not watch them walk around.
And in some places letting that deer walk just means someone else will shoot it anyway, depends on how much pressure is in your area and how big the deer get in the first place.
