I was simply responding to your post insinuating that hunters in our part of the world don't hunt for meat. That's wrong. Every hunter I know, eats as much meat as possible after shooting a deer/moose/elk.

I wasn't insinuating anything, it was a legitimate question. The amount of time and money people spend hunting, wouldn't they be better off just buying the meat? I've got friends who sometimes make 3-4 trips a month and not come back with anything.
They always used the "I had a good shot, but it was too small" That sure sounds like someone who is hunting just for the meat. Face it, hunters hunt for the fun and thrill, and the meat is the bonus. It's like a competition with hunters. Some might call it a sport.
And I have no problem with people hunting for meat and I don't see how anyone can rationalize agreeing with hunting for meat and calling someone who hunts for trophies an idiot.
Personally, I could never kill an animal. If everyone had to kill for their own meat I'd definitely be a vegetarian, but I won't judge people that have the heart to shoot an animal for whatever reason they see fit as long as they obey the laws. Something this man did btw.
