Guide Outfitters rep makes a fool of himself

Hunters are probably the biggest critic of the word trophy.
We really need to pull our head out of our ass, quit differentiating ourselves into different classes of hunters and move forward.
If we left every horn or antler in the bush there would still be a movement to shut down some form of hunting.
You got to remember when you pull the trigger.....you just shot Bambi.

What a bone headed move for an entirely different reason. The general public does not like trophy hunting and that is the idea that a hunter is killing exclusively for the trophy. Even a lot of hunters dislike trophy hunting. On the ladder of social acceptance trophy hunting is about one rung up from dog fighting. Yet almost everybody is good with the idea of subsistence hunting and meat hunting is a rung below that. If you want to present a trophy hunt in a good light to the public then you must bring it into the realm of a meat hunt or it is DOA. But there is absolutely no gain equating a meat hunt with a trophy hunt. That just gives more fuel for opponents of hunting in general.

^^^bone headed^^^ good one - covers both antlers and horns i'd say

That made me laugh

I have to admit I have a problem with people referring to antlers as "horns" .

I never twigged on the "deer trophy" aspect being so open to negative interpretation as people pointed out above. It is probably a bigger gaffe than the "deer have horns" comment.
