I have alway wondered what is more important? The memories that you keep or the trophies on the wall? The trophies hang around and get dusty. The memories can last forever.

Call me crazy but every deer I kill is a trophy to me. Don't get me wrong some trophies are bigger, more exciting, harder earned, prettier,...etc. but I consider each harvest a trophy. I may not keep anything but the meat from the animal but they are trophies.

Agree. Especially with my stick and string.

I believe in the deer hunting world, a trophy is relative to where it's harvested. A 125" buck in Kansas is a lot different than the same buck killed in TN. Just the way I look at it.

What is a trophy? Would it be my first deer...? Would be my first buck....? Would it be my biggest buck...? They were all trophies to me but the memories are the things you can't replace...
