"Trophy hunting is not ethical hunting" Really?!?!

I am a meat/trophy hunter but first and foremost I am a conservationist and a sportsman. I care about filling my freezer and I like big antlers on my wall, but also care about the health of the deer herd overall. Something that you obviously do not! I'm speaking to "night crawler" here lol.

I am one of those hunters who sits in the stand and waits for a mature buck, giving younger bucks a chance to grow. I studied wildlife biology, (have a bachelor's in it) I could school you all day long on how those who chose to wait for a mature buck and/or chose to harvest doe for meat are better/more ethical hunters than you, but I won't cause I'm a nice guy. Do people continuously shooting small inmature bucks bother me? Yes, but I WILL NOT ride a high horse and tell other hunters, whose choices, as long as they are ethical and legal, I respect; what they should and should not shoot when it comes to deer or any other type of animal. As a hunter I am kind of appalled that someone would disrespect fellow hunters by stating that waiting for a mature buck is something that you cannot stand. I for one CANNOT STAND people like you who try to make out fellow hunters as the enemy and ridicule them due to their choices of what type of animal they sit and spend their own hard earned time on harvesting.

Have a nice day ya'll!
