[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1551672, member: 71039"] It is because some people genuinely hunt only for meat to feed themselves and their families. Not too long ago that is the reason that most people hunted I would say. That or to protect livestock or their families from predators. I think one of the largest mule deer ever harvested was never claimed by the hunter - it was shot for meat and somebody else came along and found the head and brought it back to town. This was a long time ago...but I still think it is in some record book. There have always been “trophy hunters” but if you stop and think about it, a lot of the comforts of our present days lives make hunting a hobby or sport rather than a neccessity for survival - at least where most of us on this forum live. Because of that there will be those who criticize taking animals lives for sport. If you go back a couple hundred years did everybody have big elk antlers or deer antlers hanging on their wall to show off to their friends? I don’t know the answer, but I bet it was a lot less common. I have antlers hanging on my wall, nothing worthy of the trophy books, but reminders of good times spent with family and friends. [/QUOTE]
