First let me say any deer taken that makes the hunter happy is a trophy, every deer I have ever killed was a trophy.

That being said I have 3 real trophies under my belt:

1. My first deer, a doe.
2. My biggest buck, an 8 pointer with a 21 3/4 inside spread, the tallest tines were 19 1/2 inches above the top of the bucks head, I was 20 or 21 when I killed him and that buck was bigger than any buck my cousin or uncle had ever killed and the 2 of them are the best pure hunters I have ever known.
3. My first bow kill, that was a doe.

I have 3 more real trophies I hope to get in the future:

1. My first buck bow kill.
2. To kill a very old monster 6 point I have seen clearly once in 3 years.
3. To kill a buck bigger than my biggest so far. (I doubt that will happen though in my area, it might though)
