FM, I feel "somewhat" the same way about MY deer. I've only got one deer (a spike) with my bow but I don't feel that it was a trophy. However, I think that I could stick another spike under different circumstances and possibly feel that it was a trophy. Anything bigger than a spike, I know I'd feel like it was a trophy. I've killed 4 bucks with a rifle BEFORE I became a bowhunter, and I feel like they are trophies. NOW, I have zero desire to hunt bigger game with a gun. I love my bow and bowhunting.

I do not feel this way about "non-bowhunter's" kills. If they are excited about they're kill, then I feel it is a trophy for them. JMO
