RE: disappointed hunter
I definately agree with you , a trophy is in the eye of the beholder. However I personnaly will not shoot young bucks, I take does for meat and let young bucks walk. To tell you the truth its a lot more challenging taking a big 'ol doe than it is a young buck. Does are a lot keener than young bucks so to me a mature doe is a trophy. If taken with a bow even more so. I took two does this year with my bow and have let a few small bucks go.
But I would never belittle anyone for what they harvested.
