Mostly because I get sick satisfaction from disappointment. I know I can't get a big one if I shoot young bucks. I have done it enough years that I am going to shoot a meat doe or two and hold out for at least a 150. Just a personal challenge.
I had a 150-160 at 50yds today but a hot doe went the other way and it was over. That easy. Still cool to see though.
Any deer you take that makes you happy is a trophy. Contrary to all of the tv guys deer hunting isn't a pecker measuring contest. Enjoy your time in the woods the things you see and if you take a deer. Congratulations. It isn't an easy thing to do.
Ps. A lot of the video hunters are toolbags in real life.
