I have a question that is likely rather premature, but after reading Bowhunter' s post about being proud of what you harvest, it got me wondering about a decision I hopefully will have to make this year.

I have two large bucks running around in the area I' m going to hunt starting the 15th of this month, and my estimate, although I' m no expert at this, is that they may score in the area of 140-150.

The problem is, I have never been one that wants to decorate with animal heads or antlers, I don' t have a hunting camp to hang it in, and personally (please don' t take offense) I can think of a lot of other things I would rather do with a couple of hundred bucks (or more?) than to have a deer' s head stuffed.

Is this showing disrespect to the animal? I likely will cut the antlers off and hang them on the wood shed like I have done with all the rest, although I will always cherish the photos and memory of taking a ' trophy' , something I have never done before. Who knows, if I' m lucky enough to bag one of these guys, my opinion may change, although my wife' s may not...
