My question is, who on here will admit they are strictly a trophy hunter?? That depends on how you classify "trophy hunter." I hunt for bucks of a specific age--generally 3 1/2+. I'll kill the first buck in this age range that I see, regardless of his antler quality. If a "trophy hunter" only shoots large-antlered bucks, then I'm not a trophy hunter. If you consider anyone that holds out for older to mature bucks to be a trophy hunter, then I'm a trophy hunter.
Very good description BSK.
I agree.

I don't shoot youngins anywhere I hunt. Because of the liberal doe limits we have my freezer's never empty so no need to shoot them just for meat.

depends on the freezer and/or the mood at the time. freezer is empty, i'm killing the first thing i get a shot at.
What he said. I wouldn't shoot a fawn, I don't shoot them when they're THAT small.

Not me. I pass up young bucks no matter where I'm hunting.
sounds like you could possibly be a big buck zealot.

i am strictly a trophy hunter. to me a trophy is 120" gross and up and and 3.5 yrs and up. i usually shoot 1 deer a yr, maybe 2. i will not shoot a doe. i would not shoot a 5.5 yr old deer if it scored poorly. however, my standards would be the same if i hunted public land because a small buck just dont interest me and are too much trouble to mess with. i certainly respect guys that can consistently kill mature bucks on public land, and i feel these guys are our most skilled hunters. much more skilled than someone who kills 2 or 3 big bucks a yr sitting in shooting house over looking soybeans on 1500 hundred acres of private land. hats off to those east tn mountain monarch slayers.
