Meat hunters keeping racks is the same thing as keeping a photo. I dont know any hunters that get rid of the racks from the bucks they shoot. Its a keepsake, like a souvenir from the hunt. I see absolutely nothing wrong with calling yourself a meat hunter and keeping the racks. Im not a trophy deer, i dont have the time or opportunity to pass up any bucks smaller than 140" or w/e you consider a trophy hunter. The deer are all the same on the inside, and if they happen to have a rack of antlers, thats great, but im not gonna throw out a small rack because for some reason i think i failed by not shooting a large buck, and will never be ashamed of any animal i take.
