A trophy to me isnt a memory if for no other reason than the definition of trophy is a physical, tangible object awarded as a prize for success. By that definition a memory wouldn't be considered a trophy. Although I enjoy spending time in the woods with my friends and family, a trophy to me is a buck for the wall. For me that would take a 125" or better for me to spend the money to mount my trophy. Some of these other things mentioned are great accomplishments, like killin a deer on public land, getting your wife or kids deer, but in my opinion they aren't trophies In the literal sense of the word.
