@Sharp_Coyote: I've been hunting with my family for years, and when I catch something, you know I'm gonna eat that boy. Otherwise all I got from the trip is a dead deer and a guilty conscience

That being said Trophy Hunting is a valid sport as well

We've been catching and killing things to eat since, well, forever, yet it seems to me that the primary difference between trophy hunting and poaching (be it rhino horns, or bear gall bladders, or what have you) is that the hunter usually pays someone (oft governments) large sums for the privilege of killing a thing, legally, simply for the act of killing it.

Trophy hunting may be considered a sport, it just does not seem particularly ... sporting.

What aspect of trophy hunting makes it a sport?
