A lot of things come into play here that I/we dont know. This is a late summer deer who hasn't put on fall weight yet and with a hot dry summer is to be expected. This may be a HUGE deer for this area. And last but not least the trophy is in the eye of the beholder, and IMO any deer taken with archery gear is a trophy, buck / doe or otherwise. Just don't think you should be beating him down. Your deer in your profile pic is a cute little one compared to my wall decorations!
