where I live and hunt anything that has 8 points is a good deer and anything that will gross 115 is a trophy,,if you arent satisfied killing 100-105 inch deer in these parts you might as well stay home,,130 in Jackson County is like a Booner in most places,,

ANY legal deer taken with a bow!
I can't speak for others except those I hunt with, but we have accumulated over 400 kills (doe and buck) with our bows in the last 25 years or so, and only ONE has met the minimum Pope and Young 125 inch mark NET. And MANY of the bucks (and does) were 3.5 year old or better.
I have hunted Montgomery County a few times, and Williamson, and Wilson, as well as MANY other Counties I frequent. The AMAZING difference in head gear from County to County is something that liars are made of. I try to tell people about the differences and most simply brush this info off like a bad story.
I have a few good friends who live near or in these "top-end" Counties. More than once they have requested a visit with me up North. My reply is that they are welcome but that they will gain NOTHING in antler size or age by leaving some of these top end Counties. Most Tn. hunters simply do not know how good (and different) it is in some of the (Nashville) Basin Counties.
I guess a wall hanger just depends on where I hunt!

If it takes a ride in my truck it is a trophy. Don't even have to have horns.

If you hunt the mountains of east TN where I do, and define your term of what a trophy is in a measurement of inches, then you are going to be disappionted. I just measured the 2 racks I have in my office here. The first one is a 3.5 year old buck I killed a couple years ago, It scores 74 and 4/8th inches. The other is a 4.5 year old that scores and even 89". Both of these are just as much a trophy to me as my 200" Ohio deer.

thats what I`m talkin about,,there was a chart somewhere that listed the number of points by age by county,,in Jackson county a 3.5 average deer only has like 7.2 points,,that tells me that a whole bunch at least half 3.5 year old deer killed in Jackson county has 7 points or less,,which is not condusive to many deer that will break 100,
