I am. Now the trick comes in when someones tries to put a definition on trophy for someone else.

I wont shoot a buck unless he is worth mounting or on a plaque (sp)....never have, never will. That goes for private and public. My first buck I ever killed was when I was 15, and it was my biggest ever to this day...Thats why. I have never killed a buck under 2 1/2...thats just me. If I need meat, I'll shoot does

Actually the public land I hunt makes my standards go UP.
Unless something changes next year I may have killed my last deer anyway.
Sure don't fight about it that's for sure.
I like watching man shoot ANYTHING, that makes me happy.

Smaller bucks get the green lite, and have for a while from me, but with that said, I don't raise any judgements on any who does decide to shoot smaller bucks!
To let them walk is my choice, my call, makes no difference to me what the neighbor does on their property, think about it folks if the trophy hunter can have the power of choice, every other hunter has the same power to choose what he or she wantsJMO

Just depends on if I already have meat in the freezer or not..I try to harvest atleast 1 deer during bow,so that when ML and Rifle season gets here,im less likely to pull the trigger on the first small buck that comes by...I try not to shoot small deer,but it does happen..But if im on public land,I'll shoot what ever is legal..I've never killed on public land,so,that might change if I had a few public land deer under my belt.
