I'm a trophy hunter because I want the challenge of shooting a big buck. In Ky. we can only shoot one buck so I don't want to shoot a small one and be finished. Shooting a small young buck just isn't the thrill or challenge I want. I will shoot a couple of does for meat and then try for a big buck. I've killed enough deer that I don't have to kill anything to enjoy the year. I also will not starve if I don't kill one. I don't think a meat hunter is any more pure for his hunting reasons than a rack hunter. We all hunt for the enjoyment of it...if you say otherwise I say bologna.
