Well I guess wolf killer you can throw me into your hate category but I don' t think you understand what is really happening often times in that scenario. I am a meat hunter first. That means my primary goal is to fill the freezer. But I like a big rack as much as anybody else. So if I think there are some big boys running around I' ll have a little patience and wait a few days for the " ideal" buck. Ideal meaning I get meat and a rack that' ll bring bragging rights. But that may mean I do pass on a " good" buck, a buck that is mid-sized. If a " big" buck never shows or it just doesn' t work out after a few days then I' m filling the freezer with the first thing that shows itself. Doesn' t matter if its a dink or world record. In my state I can get a buck tag and a doe tag so I get both.

I don' t think there is anything wrong with trophy hunting as long as you respect the meat as much as the horns.
