RE: Do you shoot bucks you wouldn't have mounted?
When I go hunting I am actually decorating. He doesn't get put on the ground if he isn't going on the wall. My personal threshhold is 140 for wall status. We don't have an overabundance of does or I would shoot a very mature one given the opportunity. The only exception to this rule is a wounded deer, they go down immediately. I hunt in a suburban area and don't want the bad press that a wounded deer brings coming down on me. Even if I didn't wound it.
