I only shoot bucks I will mount...if that makes me a trophy hunter then so be it. That deer could be a 130" 2 1/2 year old and most people on this new "mature" tangent would laugh at that. Ihave allowed many Georgia bucks to walk that most guys here would give their kids away for..I consider myslef a trophy hunter...hunting for "MY" trophy. I live this sport year round and have anxiety attacks waiting for the rut. To me the rut is not the animal at their weakest...it is however that chance for that one fleeting glimpse and maybe a shot at that old warrior. The big guy who was born smart and only walks during the daylight a few days a year when he smells estrous. You know the deer that makes you say OH #@*# out load and dang near puke in your facemask. That is why I hunt the rut...and just typing about "HIM" got my heart beating a little faster.
