Some people just want to pay for a trophy animal and have someone hold their hand and point it out for them. Most guys would die for a governor's tag. A chance at a trophy animal is already pretty good. Why not enjoy what is no doubt an awesome hunt? Guess I just don't get the pleasure in just paying to "shoot" an animal.

Trophy fever. This not only afflicts some hunters, it afflicts some marriages as well.
