RE: Q 4 meat hunters.
You're not hunting for the "wrong" reasons. You hunt based on "whatever trips your trigger." I admire a hunter who can go out there and let a nice 8 pointer walk because he knows there is a 10 pointer out there or he has one already hanging on the wall. Not only do I admire them, I thank them knowing that I can harvest that 8 pointer some day. When I say I'm in it for the meat that doesn't mean that I would pass up a nice buck for a doe it just means that a doe means just as much to me as a trophy buck. We're all trophy hunters...I just admire my trophies in the freezer most of the time. I think for the most part that no hunter feels ABOVE any other hunter (other than the purist who hunt like Native Americans did...their an excentric species) and that were all out there for one thing...WHITETAILS. And if someone doesn't like your style of hunting that's on them. Don't sweat it.
Good hunting, KyBuckHunter.
