It's all in your own eyes of your own trophy, but if you go with bigger rack the bigger trophy, then you have to compete with other guys who also agree.

I dont hunt a place where I spot monsters and consistently go after them, have my buck picked out....I hunt as best I can hoping a big boy will walk past me, one day I hope to own a large piece where I can draw the bucks in and manage them and then I think my trophy will not only be a trophy/monster whitetail but also one I really put time and effort into creating, right now I'm unable to do that as I dont own land.

As for now, the property I hunt, my father and I try to pass up smaller/younger bucks, but we'repretty frustrated to see lile reward to our efforts, considering finding a new place to hunt, trespassers, neighbors shooting tiny bucks, our cousin shooting tiny bucks who is supposedly managing deer with the same intentions clearly isnt. also drivng 2.5-3hrs away to hunt, its kinda annoying.
