johan in Australia theres plenty of blokes that just trophy hunt ,and that's okay , they may walk in to the bush to hunt where it takes a whole day to get in there , and stay 5 or 6 days , some longer .they will usually take an eater the first day ,then hunt only stags ,they will leave the carcass 9 out of 10 times . its quite normal and no one complains .
but the guys that shoot an animal with in a couple of hundred metres off the track and don't utilise it are frowned upon , but its not very often that this happens , you quite often see a carcass in the bush the has been broken down and only the rib cage and the front leg that copped the bullet is left, not a great endearment ,but still utilised .
most hunters are mainly meat hunters that l know ,as you can do 10 hunts around home and not see a trophy stag .
then we have the after dark adventurers , they spotlight and generally only shoot the big stags . these parasites usually just hack off the head or skull cap .and leave the rest either in some ones paddock or where it drops , quite often beside a road or bush track . or if they cape the animal out ,they usually freeze the cape and sell it someone that needs one .these idiots are the ones that make it hard to get premission to hunt on properties around home
these guys are every where , and usually have a shed full of antlers .and don't own a freezer.
but everyone that know hunts for the meat , and we procces it our selves and share with friends and family
but in saying that if bigg daddy walks out , hes going to get shot , chopped ,and shopped , he will never get cold over winter again , he will very cozzy in some ones lounge room close to the fire place
