Default RE: Trophy or just a nice deer?

I agree 100%....Great Post!!! Always a favorite topic of mine...can't believe I missed it until now. If someone mounts a gun killed deer I usually just say, "hmmm". I had a bro-in-law that rifle killed a 165 inch buck and had it mounted. I admired the deer but didn't comment on anything else...3 years later I found out he threw the mount out to the curb and the trash truck hauled it away...I couldn't believe it. When asked why he did it, he replied that he just wasn't proud of it and in fact was a bit embarrassed that he had not shot anything that big in years with his bow. He still proudly displays his first ever buck with a bow however, although it in no way compares to the size of the 165 inch buck he shot with a gun.
