Was reading a thread on here earlier about the diffrence in potential from TN to mid west deer ! And it got me thinking !

What do most of you consider a trophy buck for TN (Within reason)

I know everyone has there on take to what a trophy is to them, and it will vary from person to person, just curious to what ya'll concsider a trophy buck for Tennessee is ?

Me personally I would be extremley tickled with a 125 class or better ! I think that size deer would be a nice trophy for just about anyone, and is very atainable through out the state.

OH and also I am by no means trying to start a argument here ! lets please keep this post civil !

A trophy TN deer to me is the one I shoot after doing the following;

Spend all winter scouting public land that is very remote and has a relativelly small deer herd.

Run many, many miles all summer long, so I can be in the best shape I can be in too hunt the mountains that I enjoy.

Shoot my gun and bow regularly so I am proficient with my weapon.

Get up on opening morning before all the other yahoos and climb the mountain so I can be in my saddle when everyone else hits the woods.

Make a good shot on a nice buck and have it on the ground and gutted by 8:00 AM.

A trophy out-of-state (Ohio) buck for me is one with big antlers.

Let me rephase that. I meant to say HUGE antlers. I don't travel out of state to shoot mature deer. I go to shoot deer with big racks.

I commend you Buzz. The dedication and commitment you put forth is in its self a "trophy" but to add the very nice buck on top well you might just be in the "GOLD MEDAL" category. Congrads on the pay off with all the verry hard work. Now thats a hunter!

Every deer i kill i special, but if you want me to classify what i consider a trophy for this state, I agree with the above statement, 120-125.

I would say a trophy deer in Tn is 150 or better.When you say the word trophy you think of a deer you don't get very often.100-125 class deer are good deer but not a trophy in my book.

But like I've said before its more about the hunt than how much the antlers score.I've shot some small deer that mean more to me than some of the bigger deer.
