Few people start as a trophy hunter. I didn't. But after you hunt awhile you may want to challenge yourself more. In Ky we can kill one buck and I trophy hunt. I kill does to eat and if the right buck comes along I'll shoot it.
No one side is right. Meat hunter or trophy hunter....hunt for what makes you happy. What I don't like is one side acting superior to the other. Hunting should be fun so enjoy it and don't let anyone tell you how you should hunt.
