In this second part of the author's series on trophy hunting, the author examines several damaging misconceptions about trophy hunting. Almost all hunters collect mementos from their hunts, it simply does not distinguish one form of hunting from another. But what of these elements of trophy hunting so many believe are distinguishing? Are they accurate? Are they true? Can they be used to separate "trophy" from other forms of hunting? Not really, and certainly not significantly.
