To me every deer is not a trophy. I wish people used words like "special" or "meaningful" to describe deer they are proud of rather than trophy. Becuase used legitimately trophy can vary, let alone people calling every thing they take a trophy. I have 1 trophy deer, but I have a whole lot more deer that are more meaningful to me than than that one, but I don't consider them trophies.

There are some bucks that are trophies in any location, then there are more localized trophies. Most trophy bucks in PA aren't even given a second thought in kansas or illinois.

There's my opinion on the subject, a deer you shoot should be special, or meaningful to the person who shot it, but calling it a trophy, just because it's special, only cheapens the true meaning of trophy.
