The fact that the question keeps coming up every year shows that some peope put a lot of weight in being a meat hunter. I read this topic every year. Sometimes it civil, sometimes its not. If you can't see that some see themselves as being somehow better or more pure for being a meat hunter then you are the one who doesn't comprehend the written word. Just post a topic about scoring deer or hunting for a book deer and watch the holier that thou types jump in. If you say you hunt for big racks you will catch crap from a good number of other hunters.
