Default RE: Do you shoot bucks you wouldn't have mounted?

Every year

I mount all the bucks antlers I shoot one way or another........plaque, euro, etc. I olny have one full shoulder mount and truthfully don't think I want a whole house full. I keep the most recent in the house and the others get moved "down the bench" After awhile you start thinking "what the hell am I gonna do with these things?"

I killed 3 deer (2 bucks and 1 doe) 2 years ago and 4 deer (2 bucks and 2 does) this year and in between I had a horrible year last year where I saw very few deer in all seasons combined and only took 1 deer (The 13 pt I have mounted).

I will take a year like this one or two years ago any day over that miserable year with 1 good day and a "trophy".


I don't hunt land where I can afford to pass deer up............and I doubt I would even if I did. Antlers just don't mean THAT much to me. I like bucks as much as the next guy but antlers or not.........my freezer is getting filled
