A trophy in my eyes doesnt always carry a big rack on its head. I think its unnecessary that the big buck culture has you feeling "negative" about taking what im sure is a beautiful buck. I know and understand your motivations and truly believe that what each man/woman decides to shoot is solely their own business and should not/can not be judged by anyone else. That being said your motivations and your own convictions will play a huge role in the overall satisfaction you get from hunting. This further defines the old "to each his own" adage. I hope you find middle ground and get yourself in a situation that has you feeling positive about the pursuit of these great animals. Goodluck.
