Default 2 sides to every story

I know of several natives who take a doe mulie late in the season for meat and participate in draws for "trophy animals" just like the rest of us which I believe is the way it should be. As in all societies there are people who abuse rights and use "sustenance" to take any and all animals they encounter. the worst situation I have seen is a "status" individual who braggged and had the pictures to prove it that he has harvested many trophy animals over the course of years under his status. I think that is just plain wrong. These individuals give all staus people a bad name which is like the bad hunters making it impossible for all of us. If I was hunting for meat an antelope would probably be one of my last choices to filll the freezer.
