Thread: The choice is yours.........

What Friwi said without a doubt: trophies are all too often associated with hero worship.

Do the cocky a favour and shoot the next ten too. Paddock deer are a dime a dozen.

I will get a dime if you find me a cocky who will let me shoot a dozen deer.

You know where @BRADS is

I was a bit surprised at the amount of supporters of shooting the spiker. Its a personal choice and each of us have to be happy within ourselves after pulling the trigger, Im not judging anyones choice.
I like to see the yearling stags survive to grow their second antlers, then its easier to see potential VS dudness. If i thought the herd was healthy enough to lose a hind i would shoot the hind, if not the cool photo would do me.
I have my record book 16 pt stag on the wall watching me type this and my freezer full of venison so maybe the choice was easier for me

i was thinking the same thing, anyone that loves hunting during the roar should leave that spiker as he is showing great potential.for all you meat hunters who would tip the spiker over,i would do the same thing if i was solely a meat hunter, it,s all the hunters that put in for ballots during the roar or go on hunting trips during the roar etc, that have me bamboozled, why bother hunting during the roar if you are going to shoot all potential trophy's throughout the year, by all means shoot spikers with spikes that aren't much higher than their ears but you shouldn't complain if you haven't shot a 12 pointer in your life when you are tipping over anything that has antlers during the year

Still three young fellahs is good going.

take the hind if you want meat, leave the spiker to grow.

Good to see im not alone in supporting the force, for all you darkside followers i stand by my view that only ones conscience should dictate a trigger pull or not. still no judgement here !
( Tahr ) I guess with almost 2500 post you dont get much time hunting so go hard and shoot those spikers. ( in your hunting area )

Hah. You know nothing about me.
I dragged myself away from the computer long enough last night to get this. A nice step up from spikers' for me

Oh no, the trophy potential of area is now ruined.
