It's not just gun hunters or compound shooters either.
I quit hunting with a couple of guys years ago who looked down on small bucks. They were "trophy hunters". I would love a nice big buck but if the trophy didn't appear that year a small buck would do nicely. And we were all tradional hunters then, we had no other choice. Their comments were "Why did you shoot that little thing?" (It was a healthy, fat forkhorn). By the way these comments were made over 30 years ago and they still gripe me.
I also stopped associating with a club member who was two checkouts over in a large store full of women and he shouted "How did you do deer hunting this year?" I tried not to reply. He then bellowed out "I stuck 5 but only got 4."
Ignorance knows no bounds.
