Everything I choose to shoot is a trophy. Doe, buck, small, big!!!! I have put myself out there to harvest an animal and I am not successful more times than I am successful. So therefore, anything to me is a trophy.

And if it puts a smile on someone's face, I consider it a trophy for them too!

I have two 10 points on the wall along with a big 8. I also have this little scrawny 7 point on my wall. It was my first ever deer shot on my first ever sit in the woods in my life. So I got it mounted.

I've shot everything from does, button bucks, big racks and everything in between! I eat the things! If I get something that someone else may think is a trophy, I'll get it mounted as something to talk about with my buddies that come over. But I see deer as meat and nothing more!

I hunt leases with friends that have their version of trophy rules. I follow them! I also hunt leases with no restrictions other than state regulations. Sometimes I regulate myself and don't shoot, other times I decide to shoot! It's up to me! And if I decide to shoot, it's a trophy in my book because I succeeded in my quest for harvesting deer.
