RE: "I only hunt for the meat"?
I'm not a true trophy hunter in the sense that I will only shoot a deer of X number of inches, but I am in it for the trophy. For me that means shooting a buck bigger than the last I shot or the biggest I have shot. There may come a time when I can only hope to shoot a comparable buck, but that hasn't come yet. If I need some meat, that's what I buy doe tags for. I'm not going to shoot a small buck and say I wanted the meat off of it. I hunt too hard to try to get a better buck to lessen my future opportunities by shooting smaller bucks. So, in a way I'm a trophy hunter, but my definition of a trophy may not be the same as someone else's.
