The word trophy is not one I associate with.. its quality wild food. Im sure there are plenty like me that only hunt to fill the freezer but not so many that would proudly say it to a bunch of guys who think lugging a bunch of pointy bones out of the bush instead of all the meat is going to make them some how more manly or feel like they won a trophy for something amazing they just did.
I have seen the the opposite many times.. deer missing heads with the entire carcass left in the bush, sometimes untouched other times only missing back straps.. you tell me which is more respectful and moral.

Let the debate begin..

Don’t bag what you don’t understand. If you think all trophy hunters do it as some kind of ego trip contest then I’m afraid you’ve missed the point & your never going to get it. Much like a vegan or a animal rights activist will never see things your way.
