Trophy or just a nice deer?
I wanted to find out how many of you feel the same way. If someone shoots a deer with a bow and gets it mounted, I call that a trophy. If someone shoots one with a gun, no matter what size, I call that a nice deer. In my book it's no trophy because shooting it with a gun is no major feat.
For me it comes from the areas I hunt. Several places I can use a gun and I would have a wall full of 160s and 180s if I did. Now, I have no more desire to deer hunt with a gun no matter where I go. I will always choose my bow over my gun.
