RE: Help me. . . Why do people hunt?
Nature, outdoors, excersise, friendship, tradition, challenge, food, memories and reward. The cole notes version.
I am a trophy hunter, I am searching for the wall with my one buck tag, if I don't see it or have the opportunity I eat it (my tag that is) Meat I take does and other larger big game, I have yet to go a year without fresh meat in the freezer from my hunting. I have also gone years without shooting a buck or trophy. It is all my choice, i hardly think I am better than anyone. We all have our reasons and goals I respect them. But don't lump someone into a group that you don't believe or want to be a part of just B/C they are different..especially using words like idiot or jerks. I bet those who choose to only take the antlers, use the meat for others such as food shelters, etc. If they shoot an animal and leave the meat to be unused...this a POACHER, not a trophy hunter.
