You all know the photo's I am talking about - a side of a barn is dotted or covered with shoulder mounts, bleached skulls or antlers mounted to plaques with the hunter(s) standing front and center.
My brother and I spent a day gathering his, my, and our Dad's bowkills a couple years ago and hung them all on his garage. I'd always wanted to do it, it turned out good but it was actually a ton of work.
Cool.... if used in the right context. If people use it just to brag and convince the rest of the world that they are better than the rest of us then NO! Nice garage!

We do, we just don't add much to the wall in MN. 7 or 8 of those bucks are MN deer, all metro but even the metro has gotten poor lately. I haven't killed a buck in MN since 2005.
Thanks, BTW, that's 20 years of bowhunting for 3 guys who hit it pretty hard and travel a lot.

Top row second from the right. Double Liver killed it in 236 about 15 years ago. It grossed 180 something, I was hunting about 70 yards from him and it went by me at 40 following a doe headed right at him. I remember thinking, "God I hope he's paying attention", then heard the shot, then DL yells, "Mclovin, he's coming right at ya, hit him again, he's HUGE!" I managed to knock my arrow off the rest as he ran right under my tree. That was fun, I'm glad you asked, I'm grinning as I type this. Good memories.
Well..... I posted the question and I just got my 2013 buck back so I thought I would share. No monsters and nothing like McLovin's pic, but all these bucks came from my 150 acre property since 2008. Far left - my son's 2013 buck, left/center - my 2008 buck, right/center is my 2011 buck and far right my 2013 buck. I'm sure so you all have some - lets see them.
