Wolfen I hunt strictly in Va. and I will be honest and say that any deer with a bow is a trophy to me, as you say there are different sized trophies and some that mean more than than others.

Depending upon where you hunt a monster buck may only score 120 while there are other places where a 120 buck is not considered any more than average.

Another thing to consider is the number of deer you are allowed to kill in certain areas, an example is right here in Va., we can legally take 3 bucks and over 100 does, I am not saying I could do that, but there are a ton of deer here. I am not a " Trophy" hunter, there is one spot I hunt right now that there is only one buck I would take there and as a result I will let every doe and small buck walk hoping for the big boy to pay me a visit, I only hunt it once a week just to keep the pressure off.

One thing to remember is one mans trash is another mans treasure, the same holds true for trophies.
