It's pretty darn hard to come up with what is a trophy and all of us agree. Each of our hunting time, locations, and deer we see vary far too much. All I know is that if you are not enjoying being out hunting whether you harvest or not, you shouldn't be there. And second, if you have that trophy on the wall you better have done something with the rest of him. I don't care if it is in your freezer, a friends, or at a food bank. I guess I've see one too many carcasses left to rot after some one has taken their trophy (and I tell you the first one that I saw was already one too many). Safe hunting and enjoy your days in the hunting woods. We all have too few of those.
