I know what you mean there 'one shot'. Some neat memories.
I have quite a few trophies that I've saved but only a few really mean a lot to me.
I've lost some early trophies, goats and wild sheep horns. My first big pig are lord only knows where.
I have some record book whitetail heads that adorn my workshop wall along with some mediocre red heads, one real big 22 pointer that was a farm escape but that doesn't mean much also a chamy that doesn't mean much but good enough to keep.
Really they are memories of my hunting life and so far they relate to me a story of each one. Some times about the animal. Sometimes about the hunt and who was there with me.
These days my camera takes live trophies that mean a lot more to me than if Id shot them. All though you cant eat a photo.
Also it raises a question of what do I want to do with these trophies after Ive gone. Something to ponder for me.
