RE: Trophy vs. Meat
Definitely meat rather than trophy hunter as this way I can share a good eating experience with friends and acquaintances. Once down, it becomes a race to gut the animal and get it to the meat cooler so that the meat is in the best condition possible. As for racks, it has to be an exceptional rack before I wind up taking the animal involved.
When taking animals - usually does if it is deer, cows if it' s elk or moose; also depends on what I got tags drawn for.
