in my mind a trophy is any buck that is like 4.5 yo regardless of head gear. even an old, 4.5+ yo, doe can be a trophy. something with age that makes them particularly hard to hunt.

i don't know many that would pass a 140" 3.5 year old buck, wmi would/has. heck i've done it but in a area that 140 is considered an average buck. it would be a dead deer here in nh.
