"I for one quit "trophy" hunting a long time ago"

Did you not see that in the very start there Muley? I'm no spring chicken bud. I've been hunting well over 40 years now. In my youth I hunted trophies and was fairly successful at it. Those "trophies" on the wall are more of a memory than anything. Each and every one signifies either a hunt with my Great Grandfather, my Father, One of my Son's or Daughters or someone else important in my life.

Maybe before you accuse someone of contradicting themselves, you should first learn how to read and understand what was said.
