Trophy or meat hunter???

[doyourtime89]

I was wondering how many of you out there fall in to what category?  Are you a trophy hunter looking for that wall hanger or a meat hunter looking to fill the freezer.  I know, I know...that wall hangers fills the freezer too but you know what I am talking about.  Are you holding out for the biggest and best or what is legal and fills the freezer.   And I know I posted this under deer, but realy asking about any big game.

First and always, I enjoy the meat that a animal provides to my family. That being said I am more of a trophy hunter for deer then a meat hunter. I would rather let a smaller less mature buck walk away to live another day, then fill my freezer that has plenty of meat in it.

Definetly meat but if it's got a nice rack then so be it, I'll take it.

In washington, unless I have a special permit I am shooting the first legal animal I see.  Out of state tags are trophy hunts.

Washington general tag,  Legal Meat.  Special draw washington. Horns.
Out of state. Trophy now that I have a few under my belt.
After this years bow kill which is posted, I will most for sure hold out for something bigger while bow hunting.

Meat hunter for sure but I wouldnt pass up a nice buck. Antlers arent as tender or dont taste as good as backstraps.

I have a ton of TROPHY'S. I get one ever year I step into the woods with my father. It's spending time with him that makes every day out in the woods a trophy in my book.

I don't need horns to have a trophy, I have my father......

bulls and bucks only at forst and them towrds the end of the season its all about the meat!

Trophy hunter until last day of late bow then a meat hunter for the freezer.

The challenge for me is trying to get a trophy whitetail.  It is way too easy for me to shoot a deer just for meat not that there is anything wrong with that.  I just prefer to go after the
mature deer.

I hunt for the sport of bowhunting and my ultimate goal is filling the freezer. I'm hungry this year and that sucks.

Until this year I took first legal animal I saw. This year I held out for big buck I sawepassing on few legal animals. TAG SOUP! I had a 23 year streak going. Not gonna happen again.

WHen it was just me hunting it was about the trophy first couple days then meat for the fam but now that the wife is getting the game and the boys are hunting I can consintrate on thing to decorate the house with! man I hope I get something wall worthy soon!

I Love blacktails, especially mature bucks.  I try to hold out to the last weekend if I can so that I can get as much hunting in as possible.  Now that my son is hunting (He has filled his tag last 3 years in a row, starting at age 9 ) I can concentrate on big bucks.  I guess I would be in the trophy hunter catogory.
