I hope I did not raise any one's blood pressure with my post.
And on the matter of people keeping all the racks, it appears the TNDEER crowd keeps the racks. On that I stand corrected as evidenced by numerous posts and pictures.

You certainly didn't raise my blood pressure. But you also have to realize lots of people hunt for different reasons than you do, and respect that.
Only worry about those things you can control. Worrying about what you can't control--other people's actions and motivations--is a recipe for an over-stressed life.
And for the trophy hunter, realize that things are changing for the better. More and more people "get it" about passing young bucks. Back when I first started talking about QDM (passing young bucks and shooting does) in TN, hunters thought I was talking heresy and wanted to run me out of town on a rail (and they still do!). Now, you can't find hunters that haven't at least heard of QDM concepts, and the harvest data suggests an increasing percentage of hunters are voluntarily passing on young bucks. Even as the State liberalizes buck limits, the age of harvested bucks continues to slowly increase. This has to be because hunters are voluntarily passing young bucks.
I honestly believe we are almost at the stage where buck limits are virtually meaningless for the age of bucks harvested. In essence, buck limits are not what are limiting hunters in the age of bucks they decide to shoot. Make the limit 20 bucks and the percent of the buck harvest that is older-aged bucks would continue to increase.

i have every set of antlers and a memory in each one. and they are in the living room. 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. I used to keep all mine in the house and then the garage, but I have had to move the boxes into an outbuilding, just not enough room for them piled up in the corners. I am in the process of hanging some 12 foot shelving boards and screwing the skull plates to them. I have done a couple and need to hang a few more and get them all on the wall, and atleast where I can look at them and remember each hunt. A few more like these and i will have them all up. [img]http://  [/img] I rarely mount one anymore unless its a really big or unique buck!
i like that. i was looking for similar ideas to display our racks. i bet that would look good on some old barnwood.

Looks like your out of room! Great looking rack mount.

I have 13 whitetails that exceed book minimums and six other animals. None have been sent in. The deer that brings back the best memories might score 110. It was the first buck I ever killed. I have had it remounted three times. The last buck I killed was a six-point. I killed him because I wanted to. I shot him with a crossbow.
Of the 19 animals that I have killed that exceed book minimums, I only have 11 in my house. The rest are in other folks houses or lodges.
Each person decides what they want and whatever they want that is just fine with me. You pull your wagon and I'll pull mine. Last year, for the first time in 50 years, I did not even shoot at a deer. I passed up little six and a doe that I could easily kill. I figure I have killed enough. I could kill a deer or a turkey almost any day simply sitting on my patio. But that isn't hunting.
All this talk about what to shoot or not shoot gives me a headache. If something needs to be done from a biological aspect, do it. Otherwise, do what you want.

I try to kill me anywhere from 1 to 6 does every year. I shoot all i can during Bow season but in the last few years i havent been on does that much during bow season. Not seeing much activity duing morning hours at all except really early many mornings and i assume it has been because of the abundance of acorns.
