The way I see it if we let them all grow to be trophies then they wont really be tropies anymore! Be proud of any buck you take! It's not an easy task. I'm a deer hunter not a trophie hunter. Any antler hanging on my wall brings back the great memory of the hunt. Some of my favorite antlers are small crazy shaped 5's and 4's. Here in NJ finding any buck is hard enough. If I had a lot of time to hunt and I was in the big woods somewhere I might let the little guy's go but I don't! I'm an old school deer hunter and I'm just as proud of my 8 inch spiker as I am of my 3 mounted 8 pointers and last years split brow tine 9 point! Good luck to all of you in your quest for deer....Jim
