I don' t think in terms of a " trophy" . I live in Mississippi, we have nice deer, but we do not have moster P&Y and B&C running around. I only know 1 or 2 guys that have killed a P&Y deer. A P&Y in Mississippi is like killing a B&C in Illinois or Kansas, they are out there, but not many are harvested with bows. If I kill a 4 1/2 year old buck that scores 120 in MS, I' ve really got a nice deer that I am very proud of. However, he would not be considered a true trophy in the hunting world. I' m ok with that, I don' t look for others approval to validate my hunting skills or success.

Atlasman, I see you posting a lot on this topic. You need to move on man , everyone can' t live in Iowa, Illinois or Kansas. If you kill an above average mature whitetial deer with your bow, you accomplished a great task and should be proud.
