"Trophy" is such a loaded word. It's a nonsense argument by anti-hunters. Semantics.

A doe could be a "trophy" to someone. It's also possible to hunt for multiple reasons, all at once. The bear, elk, and deer I have killed are all trophies to me. I also killed them to eat them and to feed them to my family and friends.
 

 :yeah: How do you define a "trophy"? My first deer was a "trophy doe"(hard to believe it was over 40 years ago) . I haven't shot a doe for 20 plus years and have no desire to shoot one. but that first doe was a trophy to me. The elk and deer I have shot that would actually score as a "trophy" have all been eaten? Talking point they can use for the un- educated to make it sound like hunters killing something to cut off the horns and leave everything else to rot. Definite intention to make it sound like hunters don't eat bears and lions also. Bear and lion is some of my families favorite meat. Its all pure bull crap.
