I believe every hunter is a trophy hunter! It is all a matter of what you consider a trophy to be.I have taken many deer during my years of hunting.Doe and Bucks of all sizes.I have been just as proud of a nice Doe or young Buck as my largest record book Buck! As long as a "Trophy Hunter" is proud of his animal and respects it for what it is "one of Gods Creations" and makes use of the animals meat for food, either for his family or donates it to the needy. I have no problem with it! Those who hunt only for the "rack" or the thrill of the kill do not really respect the animal or hunting. The term "Sportsman" do's not apply to them!

First, you must decide what the definition of a sport is. I think Rodeo is more of a sport than Nas-car. Both are more worthwhile than footbal or basket ball. I've never "Trophy hunted", but I consider hunting a very worthwhile endevor. I would say that yes it is a sport, but also much more

I personally do not trophy hunt.But hunting is a sport because to be good at it you do need to be physically fit and do your home work.If your not or don't know what your doing it's just like football,Basketball and baseball.You won't get very far or do very good at it.It takes a lot of energy to keep warm in temps below freezing.It also takes a lot of energy to walk all day to find the game that you are trying to hunt.The reason a lot of people do not think it is a sport is they have never tried it.To hunt and hunt effectively It takes skill,Know how and patients to succeed.Hope this has help you for your report.

Emily, it may seem at first that trophy hunting is not sporting. I mean, the hunter is staking a poor, dumb animal merely to brag about his kill and show-off the hide or head as proof. However, some trophy hunters only hunt dangerous game and so long as the hunter is not shooting a bear in a cage or trap, then it is sporting. Ever see the '96 movie the Ghost & The Darkness starring Val Kilmer & Michael Douglas? The movie is based on a true story, THE MANEATERS OF TSAVO.

Lt. Col. John H. Patterson killed the two man-eaters, maneless male lions who killed & ate approx. 140 human beings. He kept the hides as rugs for the longest time then sold them to the Field Museum in Chicago, IL. The two lions were larger than natural lions and some believe they may have been 'throw-backs' to the extinct prehistoric Cave Lion, the largest feline ever known. The lions were rumored to be one 'whiter' than the other and the other one darker thus named by the Natives as the Ghost & the Darkness. That is trophy hunting born of necessity--the killing had to stop and would only stop when the lions were killed.

I am a meat hunter but will shoot a trophy class critter as a 'target of opportunity.' I think most hunter are like this. We hunt for practical purposes, but hope to find that "world class trophy."

Good luck with your paper.

Trophy hunting is a sport. You get rated on the animal that you kill based the size of the antlers. Just like a professional football player, people trophy hunting can strive for the top position, by the size of the antlers on the deer,elk, caribou that they kill. Money, trophys, and just overall recognition is the prize that a hunter recieves for this.

Don't mean to get philosophical but hunting it a sign of ultimate respect between species, to challenge one dominance, it would be disrespectful to the animal to not be remembered as a challenge.

Which gun?

I personally do not consider it a sport. I would never go and shoot something just for a trophy. I hunt to put meat in my freezer.
There's many kinds of hunters. Some hunt for just non-typical racks and shoot nothing else but those.
I don't consider trophy hunting even close to a sport. It inflates a mans ego, and therein the trophy lies.
