Not all hunters are trophy hunters, that is just a subset of hunters. Numbers from my state show close to a 50/50 split between antlered/anterless (Note: Anterless may contain some bucks, but the hunter thought they were shooting a doe) http://wvmetronews.com/2015/01/16/final-numbers-on-2014-deer...
The breakdown on each season: Firearm Buck season 37,766 bucks, antlerless firearms hunting, 39,514 antlerless deer, archery season, 21,653 deer and 5,290 deer during muzzleloader season. |

Meaning, all hunters are actually trophy hunters, just that for every trophy they bag, they must haul out -- at their own expense -- non-trophies.
