I for one quit "trophy" hunting a long time ago. The only time I really pay attention to a rack is if I am trying to genetically manage one of my hunting properties for a higher quality gene pool. That goes more for health of the herd with stronger genes. That being said, I am, with no doubts whatsoever, a MEAT hunter. I've got more heads on the walls around here than I care to imagine. Wish I had about half the money I've spent on taxidermy. I sure wouldn't have to worry about bills for a while! So My choice would undoubtedly be Alaska for the simple reason of meat. That and I'm not really keen on Ebola. I have a strange feeling that little bug would sure ruin your day!
I've hunted Alaska several times and there are MANY drop in hunts that are very reasonably priced for Moose, Caribou, Plains Bison, and several other species. You just have to look for a good deal. They are out there to be had.
A bit of a contradiction. You say you're a meat hunter, and you have trophy's on your wall. That's not my definition of a meat hunter.
I consider myself a meat hunter who loves the hunt more than the kill. There's nothing hanging on my walls, and i've never even taken antlers from the kill unless I had to prove points, and then it's left in the mountains. I believe that's what meat hunters do.
I think every hunter is free to hunt anyway they want, and I don't push my ways on anybody. However, what ever you claim to do. You should do it.
