Thread: World Record Red Deer!!!!......according to an American

I guess, Dawg, it all pretty much remains the individual's choices in the matter...I agree with you, any edible animal is a trophy with regard to sustenance. Some hunters prefer animals with a rack that has great symmetry, not necessarily the measurations of it. But we humans will collect articles that have meaning to us and if that includes taxidermy of every species of deer in the country, then so be it...to my eye, there is nothing quite as handsome as a very nicely mounted eight point Sika head...whether or not the oven was grateful! And we can have a nonchalant view on the collection of trophies but when you bring down a stag with a head of great symmetry, you do feel greatly inclined to have it as an ornament on the wall. And if you have hauled that animal out of rough country, and just about blown a gasket through your endeavour, after an exciting hunt where all your senses are on red alert, those eight points do really mean something...
