Personally, I do consider myself a trophy hunter, and not because I' ve got a macho, " better than thou" attitude or anything. I' ve killed a bunch of nice gobblers over the years and I' m to the point in my life that I' d rather film or watch them than kill them. I just love to hear ' em and see the ritual. The only time I will carry the ' ol shotgun with me is when I find an old patron that will give me a good run for my money! And I' ve never had the opportunity to have a full body mount of a nice bird, so the next one I kill will either have a foot long beard (or close to it) or multiple beards! And if I get a mount done, I' ll probably never kill another. But I' ll be out there every spring enjoying the season. I don' t have to kill a bird every year to have a great time. I enjoy taking other folks out that haven' t been as fortunate as myself over the years.
