RE: Trophy vs. Meat
Both. It never made sense to me why one would choose. A big trophy animal has the most meat anyway, and anyone with a clue about caring for the meat and butchering will have no problem with the meat from a big old buck anyway.
Could never understand why someone would voluntarily limit themselves to half the benefits of hutning, when you can always shoot for both.
I guess you could sa I' m a meat hunter in the fact that I' d leave the rack behind and take the meat if I had to choose.
However, I' m after a trophy with a bunch of tasty meat attached, every time. Couldn' t ever see shooting a calf or baby of any animal, cept varmints.
