Trophy vs. Meat
Do you consider yourself a meat or trophy hunter and why? What are the criteria you use when taking animals? Inches? Number of points?
If I had to pick one I' d say I' m a meat hunter. I always love a big rack but I personally think its wrong to kill an animal for that alone. I usually shoot a cow elk every year to fill up a freezer. If the only shot I had was on a spike I' d take it. Got lots of friends that wouldn' t shoot a spike for nothing and even go as far as saying they don' t even like the meat. That can' t be good for the image of hunting.
