Thread: Trophy heads and the value placed on them

For me it how unpredictable a trophy animal can be as far as deer are concerned. I have been put to the sword plenty of times by deer sharper than me.
Thar are just dumb friggin goats, the bigger the dumber in my experience. I like the age you get on most thar trophies. It would be the easiest trophy to get IMO.
Chamois trophies take a bit of work to find. Their curiosity and antics get them shot.
To get a red trophy over say 320 is a personal goal. I have left oodles alone over the years in pursuit of one.
The longer and harder I try the more it means to me.
I am also fully prepared never too get a stag of that quality.
To be fair, I see and learn a lot more about the animal I am pursuing by setting myself a goal.
I have taken my fair share of animals thru meat shooting and recovery. It used to be all about numbers to me. Now its about just one.
I also believe shooting a trophy of any animal is 90% luck. Very little skill.
It is used to be a measure of a hunters skill. Thats shit. I know tons of people that have done fuck all with wall hangers.
In my case if I am successfull it will be a measure of perserverance that is all.
