I think that for a buck to go on the wall, it would have to fill one of the following:
1. Remind me of fond memories, regarless of the size
2. Be a special deer -- First with bow, wife's first, etc...
3. Have some unique quality
Last, and probably least in my book, be large enough to be impressive to others...
I hunt for me and the memories and for food, not for what other's think of me.
This is how i fill also. I have 8 mounted the biggest scoring just over 133 . I also have quite a few scull mounts as well. Some of the bucks that i have had mounted scored less that the biggest But all scored over 100. This is 23yrs of bowhunting and is the core of who i am. I am not trying impress anyone! "never have never will with the quanity deer i take or the size antlers they have". Just for my own reflextion of who i am. And the fond memories that have been shared with family and friends
