A trophy is special to the one who shoots it, and his dad. I have a room full of hides and heads and I eat well. As long as you don' t waste your bounty then to each his own. I hunt in an over populated area and deer heards are abundant. I hunt to have quality time with my son and other family members, but I don' t go home hungry either. In my area you have to shoot a doe first before you can take a buck. Each time we cook a roast here at the house we always try to guess is it a doe or buck?? The rack sticking out of the crock pot gives it away sometimes.[&:]
