For hunters, trophy hunting is really familiar and is associated with a lot of positive emotions. But for non-hunters, this phrase can only provoke negative thoughts related to killing innocent animals. They can agree with the fact that a man or woman has a right to hunt for meat and when they hear trophy hunting they usually treat it as something immoral.
Many people think that trophy hunters are usually looking for antlers or horns of an animal and destiny of any animal will finish up on the way to the nearest taxidermist. Usually, trophy hunters do not care for meat they get but for a chance to show their trophy.
There is also a category of hunters that will not shoot a dear, for example, if it’s not bit enough and does not represent any value in the sphere of professional hunting. But at the same time hunting for rare animals can provide a hunter with big bucks. In the community of professional hunting, real hunters find it criminal not to use meat of a killed animal. Besides, certain competition can provoke great emotions and they are hunting for larger animals because they need to face a challenge. 
In addition, hunters with great experience can state that any old dear is much harder to fool. That is why trophies are highly evaluated by real hunters. Even in Africa, trophy hunters that kill big creatures usually provide natives with meat. In addition there is some misunderstanding in the word “trophy” and according to dictionaries it can be defined as something received as a result of victory or contest.
From the scientific point of view, hunting can be beneficial in relation to evolution which usually selects the strongest animals for survival. At the same time, a lot of hunting agencies usually work to increase the population of animals and to select the finest creatures for maximizing hunting opportunities. Any person should understand that hunting in the United States is possible just within the limits of state wildlife management agencies.
These agencies survive just because they sell hunting and fishing licenses and these agencies usually promote their services in order to attract hunters from other states. The agencies are closely involved into the process of breeding of animals for the purpose of killing them by hunters. That is why the natural population of animals stays away from risk of being shot. Those animals that are usually bred on farms cannot survive in natural conditions and the main purpose of these agencies is to provide hunters with a lot of birds and animals to kill. These agencies care for breeding, quality examples of animals and they help to satisfy hunters and not to harm the nature.
