Every Bow kill is a trophy to me, Accully every kill is a trophy to me, because its more about respecting that animal, now dont get me wrong i value my Bowkills a lot more than my rifle kills. But with my rifle kills i will only take hard shots i.e. i shot a doe at 100 yards running away from me in the back of the head, I've accully never shot a doe in the body with a rifle, to me thats no fun its the size of a freakin half sheet of plywood for crying out loud you have a highly efficient rifle in your hands, if you cant hit the chest on one you need to get back to the range and practice brother. BUT I also have missed my fair share by making my rifle shots challenging, but with a bow, its ALWAYS a challenge. To me that makes it quite a bit more of a trophy to be like hey look what i did!!!

Does it really make sense to try to make your rifle shots MORE difficult than they need to be?
Head shots at running deer?
Doesn't that increase the chance of a poor shot resulting in a wounded animal?
I think you need to learn to respect the animals you hunt.
