I think there are phases that hunters go through as they mature.
Stage 1. Young hunter - kill anything and everything that moves or sits still - quantity over quality.
Stage 2. Middle age hunter - quality over quantity - hunts for trophies mostly, and hunts for only two or three different game animals based on the type of hunting he enjoys most. Enjoys teaching the younger hunters.
Stage 3. Older hunters - killed so much game that killing more is no longer very interesting, enjoys the process of hunting, and will take very few animals and trophies aren't necessarily the goal either. Enjoys the company and the camping more than the actual hunting.
Of course these are generalizations, some hunters never mature and some mature a lot younger than others.
