I have a great deal of empathy for you Louis. I have never shot a trophy like the ones in this thread, but rather have usually shot the first one I've seen that year. At times, my hunt is over the first day - lol - spike or 2-point bucks, 3 point bucks, 2 point or spike bull moose - lol - I don't even keep the antlers - why would I? - they get turned into powder measures or short starter knobs for my black powder shooting obsession.
I do like to see trophy's though (anyone's trophys), harvested by those who actually put some work into their obsession.

While growing up and even into my early 30's, that is all I did as well..first available animal I come across hunting got taken..frankly, hunting was a lot of fun doing it that way..then started looking for bigger and older game...NOW, just happy to just be out in the woods and enjoying the sights, sounds, smells of nature..IF Mr. Big comes along fine, if not, that's fine as well...

Like a friend told me a long time ago, antlers/horns make awful thin soup..
