Why would that be the first thing that came to your mind? Anyone one that shoots a nice buck is a pontential poacher? But if you shoot a spike your not? I don't get it.
Alot of people take thier hunting very serious, and spend alot of time and money on scouting, they also pass up many smaller bucks for the deer they have in thier head as the deer they want to take.
Anyway nice buck, congrats to the hunter.
