Keep in mind that in plenty of cases, a spike or doe off of heavily hunted ground or in areas with low population is probably much more of a trophy that a big rack taken with an outfitter or killed on a "managed' site where there are alls sorts of big bucks wandering around all over the place.
My thoughts exactly. A trophy rack is relative to where you're hunting.

I like watching Dave Morris because he's done some incredible things with his ranch. Those are fabulous deer. I still think (as does Dave Morris because I first learned this in one of his books) that if you call a trophy a deer one that has a rack significantly bigger than the local average, then there's just as many trophy deer in the woods out back of my home as there are on his ranch.
