RE: "I only hunt for the meat"?
What I mean by "I'm not a trophy hunter and proud of it" is that a lot of "trophy hunters" look down on those of us that consider the animal not just it antlers a trophy. By saying I'm a meat hunter I'm saying that I love bowhunting for all of the reasons that you have stated but although I would love to kill a monster buck I'm out there to put meat in my freezer not horns on my wall. I'm not knocking anybody that horn hunts it's just not the way that I do it.
