i have every set of antlers and a memory in each one. and they are in the living room.

Offhand, I really don't know how many immature bucks I have killed, most many years ago. They still come by and I scope them, it is exciting--and I sit back down in the stand and watch the sunrise or sunset. But I shoot does if I want meat, or the herd needs thinning because a doe tastes a lot better than a rutting buck. So now I would rather kill a trophy buck or no buck at all. I would not trade killing 100 small TN bucks for just one glimpse of a mature big buck. And that somehow means I am evil? I don't think so. In fact, I love to take kids hunting and watch them take their first or second or third buck of whatever size. But there is no reason for anyone to suggest that people who enjoy hunting big bucks are weird or or that we are trying to put other people down. All of us are motivated to hunt and be outside and enjoy nature. But plasticman raises a question no one will answer: what are all of the experienced hunters who just must simply kill every little buck that walks by doing with all of these horns? Are your houses and dens and kitckens full of all the bucks you have taken? Even all those smaller ones? I bet we all have our first buck's horns. What about the 51st one? Or the 101st one? If you don't have the racks and don't keep the racks, please tell me why you shot the deer that had the rack in the first place. I just want to know. Where are the racks? My trophy system involves no scoring. If I bring it in the house it was and is a trophy. I have been to a lot of hunters houses and you just don't see very many three pointers, unless basketball is on TV. Is anybody going to step up and admit you just throw the small racks away?

Then why were you so excited when TWRA changed the buck limit to 3 in unit B?That makes no sense,at least to me.

Every buck that has ever been killed on my place--if it is not hanging in the hunter's house--is hanging in our cabin either as a shoulder mount or a European mount. Even the yearling forkhorns and spikes.
