If you don't have a 130 class buck on the wall, then you will probably consider that a trophy. When you have half a dozen of them on the wall you might consider something a bit bigger as your goal. Maybe not.

As another example, I happen to have a mule deer on the wall that goes 221 7/8, and is 36" wide. If I held out for a bigger one, I might never shoot another mule deer in my life. I would be plum glad to shoot a mid 160's to mid 170's buck as long as he had features which would justify mounting him, however I do look for somewhat bigger stuff. I just won't pass up a good thing though.

I have to admit, my idea of what a trophy is has certainly changed as I have gotten older. I can shoot does for meat, but I'd rather eat a buck tag as shoot something with future potential. I didn't used to think that way. I like to tell opinionated folks, "give it five years and let's see if you tell me the same thing you did today."
