I doubt you'll get anyone here arguing that their big high fence buck is better than your hard earned buck. Its kinda like when when I was landscaping and a woman asked me to trim back her rose bushes, the were "her pride and joy", even though she had kids, and had never touched the bushes before!

I have 2 mounts and probably won't get any more; my 1st gun buck (decent 8), and my 1st archery buck (tiny 6), I can't see being any prouder of any other deer no matter how big they are, I harvested both out there on my own; no bait, no fences. Gun buck still hunting, archery buck in a permanent stand that I built and choose where it should be. I'm proud of myself, and those deer.

I have an impressive caribou rack from a northern Quebec trip but I take no pride in it, the hardest part of that hunt was the drive, shooting a bou in the middle of a migration is a great way to put meat in the freezer, but it was too easy to brag about.
