Thanks for the fantastic discussion, guys

I can definitely appreciate the "challenge of the hunt" aspect. Bigger antlers indicating an older and smarter animal that is harder to hunt. Perhaps I'll eventually seek that particular challenge, but even then, I'd be hunting a buck for the pleasure of the challenge, not the trophy itself.

And yes, my little doe fawn was a trophy to me, haha. I have a picture of me with her, and I'm beaming with my little deer. I can't imagine taking literally hundreds of deer, or several a season like some of you hunters. I'm still so green at the whole thing, I'm *still* excited about my doe fawn even several weeks later and think about the experience often. My trophy is opening the freezer and seeing tons of meat, hehe.
