When one hears the term trophy hunter, what comes to mind?  Personally, when I hear the term, trophy hunter, I think of someone with a strict standard on the animal that they will or will not harvest, a person that is after big mature animals, or a hunter that holds out for an older animal for conservation reasons.  Most people would probably think of a person that just wants to mount a big set of antlers on their wall.  Trust me I get it.  You have waited 15 years to draw an early bull elk tag in a premium unit.  The last thing that you want to do is come home with a spike.  A person wants to get their 15 years worth because, they might never get to go on that hunt again in their life.  This is a totally understandable situation.
