What one person considers not to be a trophy may be the trophy of a lifetime to another. I have seen spike bucks mounted and even does and the persons who had them on the wall were proud owners of a trophy in their eyes. I have deer mounted that was killed with bow and gun and they are all trophys to me no matter what weapon was used to harvest the animal. I have also killed many deer that i considered a trophy that isn't on the wall. When my 11yr old son killed his first deer which was a doe it was as much a trophy to him and myself as it would have been if it were a big 12pt buck. We didn't have the doe mounted (although i thought about it) but it will always be a trophy to us both. It's no doubt a feeling of accomplishment to harvest a nice buck with a bow at close range but that feeling is no less when shooting one at long range with my rifle. To be honest every deer i harvest is a trophy to me because i love deer meat!
