RE: Do you shoot bucks you wouldn't have mounted?
I personally wont shoot a buck that I dont intend to EAT.
Im growing more and more concerned that new young hunters are being told that shooting a young buck is not good.
I proudly display all my buck antlers, whether they are spikes on my shop door or a small 6 pt. on a plaque in my den.
Each to their own, but I think this prevalent big rack trophy mentality is turning alot of youngsters away from hunting.
