30.5 sounds pretty decent to me, I have one that looked huge to me when I shot it but IIRC only measured around 26" when I got home. Maybe it shrunk on the way.
If it has good memories of the hunt associated with it, and/or is better than any other ones you've shot then you may as well keep it, I'm not really a trophy hunter but to me they should be more about that than whether or not they impress other people.
