You dang right! In my mind, if you work hard and put in the time, any animal you shoot is a trophy. I've never harvested anything that is "book class", as far as I know... I've never submitted anything. In mid-October, I spotted and stalked a button buck on private land here in MN. I dropped my quiver, kept one arrow, and belly crawling, I close the distance from 75 yards to about 15. I have more pride in that deer than the one I shot in (I'm gonna get ripped on for this) Texas at a feeder. It was the only deer I shot in Texas. Why? Here's how it worked: Near sunset, the feeder went off, and the deer came running. All I had to do is lay my gun down and shoot. Where is the challenge in that? I wouldn't have even hunted at a feeder, but that was my only choice at the time... I just HAD to hunt (I was in the Air Force at the time). On the other hand, I had to work hard hunting hogs down in Texas, we didn't do it "feeder style", it was spot and stalk.
To get back to my original point: It seems sometimes that the more money you have, the better chances you have of taking a "book" animal. If I had big money, I could have a record book animal too... but I don't believe I could look upon that mount with much pride. To me it would always be just like buying a nice mount at a garage sale. But, that's just my opinion.
