Why are you farming him? You only need to kill him if you want the antler for the first pick axe. Additional antlers serve no purpose since once you have the antler pick you can repair it.

I don't know. He's a decent place to level up your bow skill early. You can get him to fell trees while you fight him too. So he pays back the arrows he uses and then some. I admit the skill isn't necessary, but I'm doing an iron man run, so the bonus too draw speed early on helps with some tricky encounters. Like trolls in caves.

What ever you find fun.

Yeah, but you don't need spare picks or spare trophies and there are more interesting things to fight than the first boss. You don't have to farm it for anything.

I like to decorate my bases with boss trophies. Especially this one looks pretty nice. Sue me.

5,6, or even 10 sure but farming 30 or 40? There are other decorations in the game and some of them are even cooler (and harder to get too if you are looking for a sense of accomplishment.)
