Well, I don't use a crossbow, but I don't see a thing wrong with them. If it works, it works... I wonder if these guys use guns to hunt with? Don't worry about other people's opinions on that, everyone has their own value system, some just like to push their's onto others... 
Congrats anyway... any deer taken is a trophy, whether it's a button, a 25 pointer, taken with a gun, crossbow, longbow, etc... if you worked for it, you earned it, end of story. But... that's JMHO.

RE: Monster Va. Buck
Thanks again. I'm going to try outback taxidermy. I usually use Pedro at J&P taxidermy, this will be my fourth time. You know I will probably switch back to a compound now that I've really slammed'em this year with the crossbow. I wanted to reallygetuse tothe sound of a release breaking the silance and the tear of a successful impact. The thrill of them running out of view(at least a couple did) and then hearing a crash and recovering them not far away. I'm really glad I found this web site, I can keep rambling on about the hunt after my budds get tired of my braggen.
