    EeeBees, i absolutely agree with you that a hard earned stag that you have stalked, cleanly killed and carried out of the bush personally will have great sentimental value, and by all means have the head mounted and hung from your wall if you are so inclined. However what i find frustrating is when people, like this American woman and many others for that matter pay huge money to come to New Zealand solely to bring a massive stag head home to hang as an ornamental "hunting" trophy when i suspect very little hunting was actually involved. Personally the primary motive to go hunting is to hopefully harvest meat, after all ammunition and firearms aren't free and there has to be some economic return. If the animal that you happen to shoot is of trophy potential then that's a bonus, however i highly doubt that meat is the primary motivation for international trophy hunters travelling to New Zealand.
