RE: Bowhunters ...... Is ANY deer taken by you a trophy to you?
For me, no, every deer is not a trophy.A "TROPHY" to me is only a buck. Does are great, I like to shoot those too, meat for me and friends, but to me a trophy is going on the wall. There has been a ton of talk about this lately on here. Not every animal I kill is a "trophy" regardless of weapon. Trophy are for something extra special, like a giant buck. You don't get a trophy for every tackle in football, or every goal in soccer. Just trophies for special ones, record breaking ones in some cases. that is how I look at hunting trophies, special ones or personal bests, those are trophies.
