Trophy Hunters?

Personally, I hunt for excitement, love of the outdoors, and to put meat on the table. Are you guys trophy hunters ([:' (]) or excitement and meat hunters(

)?

Im not necesarily a " trophy hunter" as to where ill pass up a 130 class in hopes for a 150 class whitetail. But, ill let spikes go to grow and shoot 3 year old deer. I mean, why shoot a dink whitetail buck when i can let him grow and shoot a bigger doe instead? Yea, i like antlers, but its not all i hunt for. Frankly, i really dont care if i shoot anything at all, even though it still is nice to get somethin once in a while. But, trophy hunter, id say not really.

i will pass up 8 points and stuff if under a 14 inch spread because I' ve alrady shot a 140 class. I' ve shot enough small bucks, but i shoot alot of does too. I will pass up alot of small bucks

I mainly go for something bigger than what I have shot, except I always shoot does for meat and shoot cull bucks for game management. I am going to have trouble this year getting one bigger than last year though.

Im with you.I just hunt for the meat and the rush.Its a good time to be in the

I am not exactly a trophy hunter....more of a selective hunter. This year my personal minimum is going to be an 8 point with atleast a 15 inch spread...that is my goal and if I don' t get one, there is always next year and my doe tags.
