There are many good points in the posts above. However, I feel confident saying that there's very few people, if any, on here who hunts just for the head gear. We all eat the meat, and that's the real trophy (just like hillbillyhunter1 mentioned). I let BB and small head gear walk if I can help it. In Georgia we can legally take 10 antlerless and 2 antlered deer. I'll shoot a doe in a heart beat for some meat. I shot a deer earlier this season and I felt sick to my stomach when I saw the knots on it's head when I got to the deer. (Not all the time can you tell a difference) But that feeling only lasted about a week. That's when the meat processor called for me to pick up my deer. When I cooked up some cubed steak that night I felt a little better.

I hope we all find get our trophies this year. I'm still working on a nice sized buck with nice sized head gear.
