Default RE: Trophy or just a nice deer?

Well, Guess I gotta get my 2 cents worth in. I love bow hunting for deer. I killed my first deer, a 9 point basket racked buck with a bow after many years of hunting with a gun. Bow hunting taught me more about deer hunting than gun hunting ever could and also taught me a lot about myself. To this day I bow hunt every chance I get until gun season comes in, then I break out the .270 and when muzzle loader season comes in, I do that too. The fact is I hunt deer every season with with whatever weapon is in season and I quit counting how many I've taken a few years back. Bucks or does, it doesn't matter to me or what weapon of choice......they're all trophys because of the memories they've burned into my mind and the time I got to spend in God's great outdoors. I don't worry so much about antler size or even if it has antlers as long as it's legal. I've taken a few nice ones and a lot more that wasn't so nice. Some were pretty hard to come by, some were pretty easy but all were good hunts. I concentrate on the quality of the hunt and enjoy it for what it is and if someone else wants to judge their trophys on antler size then more power to them. Everyone has a goal and mine is to put 6 or 7 more trophys on the ground this fall, gun or bow. To this day I haven't put one on the wall.
