There are individual trophies and there are the more widely accepted "universal" trophies. I personally don't consider every deer I take a trophy, because some are more memorable than others. A B&C or P&Y deer is a trophy. 1st's are trophies. Even though I'm getting my buck from this year mounted I wouldn't call it a trophy buck. Its my biggest and a great buck for the area I hunt. Maybe its just a matter of wording to me. Many deer I probably call "memorable" or "special" are trophies to you guys.
