If this is smaller then yes...LOL..
My self imposed limit is minimum eartip spread 8 points or better. Below bow bucks from the last few years.

Come on now HOOK - don't beat yourself up - that second picture didn't have an eartip spread on it and you didn't pass it up - Just ribbing you - fine buck you killed there. Way to go!

Congrats. Sometimes our standards are whatever we want them to be at that particular time.

Nice buck Hook!

 

[ghosthunter]

I use to live in Murfreesboro and I think I remember that big 8 in the newspaper. Very nice buck! I guess those are mostly Rutherford county deer.

 

[ROOKIE2323]

congrats

 

[HOOK]

Actually none are...My place is in Moore County

 

[UTGrad]

Any kill with a bow is a trophy IMO...

 

[ghosthunter]

Ah! Now I remember. That deer was in the trophy room. I hunt a farm over in Moore county just outside of Lynchburg. Actully from the property I can see the JD storage units.

I admire any deer thats killed with a bow...Nice buck Hook.

Still....It never ceases to amaze me that it seems alot..not all, but more than not, an apology is being made about a kill, because someone is worried that the deer harvested is just not big enough.
due to the over saturation of all the "big buck" mags and "big buck" videos, I sadly think the pure joy of hunting has been lost somewhere in the mix.
As for me? It's my choice what I kill, and what the other guy thinks? I really don't give a rats behind.
