First off..I do not look down on either “meat” or “trophy” hunters. I would say I am somewhere in between. I didn’t grow up in a hunting family and don’t have many friends that hunt. The more active I get on forums and involved in the hunting community I am realizing how hot the debate is around “Trophy Hunting”. A “trophy” generally is a more mature animal that often times prevents younger animals from breading, *sometimes* is past it’s own breading prime, a larger animal with more meat, and/or if not harvested will likely die sooner of natural causes. It seems to me a “trophy” hunter is actually better for whatever species being hunted. My question is: why does it have such a negative connotation? Is there something I am missing?
