Hell, R. this ain't really a "trophy" like my son wants. It was just the best buck he could get a shot at after seeing 7 or 8 of them with smaller antlers!
The year before last my friend took a buck with NO antlers. Had the buds and organs, no antlers, and weighed 90 lbs.
That is the type of buck I'd rather see killed than one like this.
There is one buck that has at least 12 points with a minimum of 20 in spread that he has been hunting on one place for two years. He still doesn't believe I've had the opportunity to drop that buck twice last year. But Old Bud will vouch for me on that. The only reason he didn't take it was he hunts with a 30/30 and it was a good 200 to 300 yd off each time we saw it.
To me, shooting the smaller bucks is more important than taking a big one.
So taking a small buck is a good thing to my way of thinking!
My son just doesn't look at it the same way I do!
Rat, one day I'll show you a picture of a doe I did something similar too. It is a little too "profane" to show on the web.
