I always try to shoot what is going to be a trophy for me, so I guess you could say that I'm a trophy hunter. It really comes down to the definition of "Trophy." What is a trophy to one person isn't a trophy to another. Someone that hunts strictly managed land would look at the deer I shoot and wonder how I could be happy with it. On the other hand, someone who shoots the first buck they encounter would see me passing on deer as trophy hunting. It is really a subjective questions.
RemingtonGirl, you have made a habit of making generalizations about Americans and then wonder why people take offense and get defensive. America has a lot of great things about it, but it's far from perfect, as is Scotland. Love each for what it has and try to improve where there are deficiencies. If you just want to bash, shut up.

I have passed up so many bucks in the last few years I couldnt count how many. If it looks like it could turn into a real nice one in the next two years, I let it walk. Why rip yourself and others off if you know it can be a great lookin' deer later. I will smoke a doe for some meat though!!!!!

I try to do whats best for all of the worlds people,I only try to shoot deer that are old ,maybe weak, andeven down trodden.
Basically inferior specimens.Genetic mutants,cripples just about any handicap that I can use to my advantage to render them freezer fodder .

And, with that I have experiance interacting with them and thats where I form my opinions. I do not generalise. Far from it. Turn on the TV and you'll know what Im talking about.
I only speak the truth and try to be honest as possible. I know Scotland isn't perfect too but we aren't shut off from current affairs either.
So in other words, Im not exactly bashing. I think others do a better job than me for example the middle east. I love America, thats why Im going back for 2 weeks to hunt.

You don't generalize, yet you say that the majority of Americans who visit Scotland are ignorant slobs? Interesting. Seriously you crack me up. BTW, what does Scotland's knowledge of current affairs have to do with anything?

And im sure theres also pleanty who waste meat on American soil too. And that is indeed their problem and they should be ashamed. I dont know many like that but the majority of Americans that I know all keep the meat frozen until consumption.
It is the same with me, when I go to MS I cannot take meat home with me. Its not game laws as such its DEfRA who make these rules to stop disease being passed from one country to the next.

Like I said...if your game laws allow the meat to be wasted, that's a problem with your country's game laws, not with trophy hunters.

Im not "idiotic" I have pleanty of education under me,im just telling how it is from experiance and things i've heard from game keepers who i keep friendly with. I understand that you cannot take meat home with you but leaving it with the locals is better than throwing it to the dogs. Like I said earlier i dont like waste.

I don't know for sure, but I suspect the meat is left for logistical reasons. And I also suspect that it is left for locals to consume, rather than simply wasted. If your game laws allow for NR hunters to kill an animal and waste the meat then that is a problem with the law, notjust withthe hunters. Labeling a group of people as idiots because you disagree with them seems pretty idiotic.
