Not very good.I get board to quick and start chassing other varmits or trout.I do no not care if I get one or not.Do not need the meat but I like it.
You can hop but you can't hide.
If it was not for rabbits I would never get a buck.

My family really enjoys the, healthy, free range, renewable harvest of venison that I am thrilled to gather by hunting... Big bucks are renewable too...I just believe we should "roast what we kill" and that there should be a balance of Woo Hoo and thankfulness at the end of every successful hunt.

I beg to differ ...hunting is a sport, as is fishing, mountain climbing, cycling and sailing. The so called sports of today are actually games. Hunting is not a game. So , that being said I voted meat hunter because I love to eat venison. But I must be a bad one because I have yet to kill a deer with Traditional gear. But it's only been 42 years.........
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

I can't vote because I am both. I like big bucks but I will shoot a big fat doe.

I take what the woods will give me.The hunt and the meat are more important to me that a huge rack for my game room.

I will not partake in the pole!

My answer is I love to hunt, I kill animals because I spend my time hunting them, I eat what I kill, The enjoyment comes from getting as close as I can.

Guys its a general question not a label if you find yourself holding out for a big buck all year= a trophy/sport hunter.If you hunt to fill the freezer first due to you depend on that for meat and it doesn't matter about antler size= a meat hunter. Im not trying to make anyone feel bad about the way or how they hunt it's about what you prefer to do when you go out.Lighten up. I prefer to hunt for meat and then a rack  and I also like the feeling of the hunt and the shot.

Deer with "drag handles" never blew up my skirt so... Guess I'm a meat hunter... Just LOVE them back strap cutlets!

I just like to get in the woods and see if I'm able to outsmart the deer. I usually give away the meat except one ham and a backstrap. The last deer I shot was given away totally. But it has been some time ago. Wife only likes jerky made from deer. Not deer sausage or any other form. Jerky only. I have to admit it's my favorite type also.

"a meat hunter or a sport/trophy hunter?"
