I told my self that I would mount the first deer I killed with my Longbow no matter what, this was my 1st year with the Longbow and killed my 1st buck with a bow and he is going on my wall busted tine and all!. I worked pretty hard for this guy! I am Proud!

But you see, there are some of us that don't care about mounting a buck. To say I wouldn't shoot it if I wasn't going to mount it is dumb to me. Some say if you don't mount it it's dumb. I really have no desire to fill my walls with deer to show off. I hunt for the hunt and the food. For those who say they wish to honor the deer and have him mounted. What about her. Why don't you honor her. She's just as noble and deserving in my eyes. Face it, some are just wrapped up in horns and some are not.It's not disrespectful NOT to mount a deer. You want to put standards on what you'll shoot.... that's fine, but please don't question the standards of someone else who may not live int the target rich environment you may. If He chooses to shoot a deer and not mount it, that's his choice. If he choses to.... that's his choice also. I just don't do it.

I do not have any deer mounted as I have never shot one nice enough in my 12yrs of hunting to consider a mount so my question is, to most from the "known" states/areas is why does it SEEM that you mount everything??

For instance...I have 2 Euro and 3 Shoulder Mounts.
I have killed probably about another 8 bucks that wereNOT mounted.
I am at a point now that any buck I kill will be mounted since I no longer shoot anything that isn't big enought to go on my wall.
