I am anunapoligetic trophy hunter, but I have much respect for those hunters who take a doe, cow or ewe most years instead of an imature male animal. I cant tell you how many times I've met hunters who kill the first legal animal they see every year, and have the gall to wonder where all the trophy's went.
When I was a young boy, I couldn't catch a fish. By the time I hit my teens, I had figured it all out, and caught and kept thousands of trout.
Now at 50 I practise catch and release with a fly rod, but am starting to think that I should eat what I catch and only catch what I eat. We definately change as we grow and learn.
So now I love to hunt and but take little game., if a mature animal presents itself I will probably take it. But then maybe not if it is too early in the hunt. Calling a big bull into range for someone else is as much fun as hunting for myself. Having fun is the best part and hopefully teaching your kids to respect the outdoors is part of the hunt.
Happy Hunting
