How Do You Categorize A Trophy

We hunt for the passion of the outdoors, the escape from the work week, to create memories with friends, and of course, the thrill of the hunt. The animals we harvest have meaning to us all. They are sources of food, excitement, and achievement. Many people, from the outside looking in, just see hunters as "trophy hunters", thinking we are only in it for the reward of antlers or a fan to put on our walls. In a way, all hunters are trophy hunters, whether it be the fact that you punched your tag for the season, or you have crossed off the next stage of your hunting life. The word "trophy" can mean so much to each hunter that steps foot into the wild every season. In this episode we wanted to see if we could define what a "trophy" in the hunting world means to not just us, but all hunters. We will all see the meaning differently, so what is a trophy to you?
