I have to say that in my 30 years of hunting experience, I have never witnessed this. I've heard about poaching instances, but hunters don't do this. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I would say it's pretty rare.
I grew up in MD (hunted the Eastern Shore) and Northern OH, so we all hunted trophies. Besides, it's easier to drag a deer out of the woods if he's got big handles attached to his head. Does were considered bait. Bragging rights for a big buck doesn't stop at the neck either: body mass is important too, and it's hard to weigh a deer if you left his carcass in da woods. I have never seen anyone walking out with just a set of antlers, but I've seen many hunters dragging out trophy deer.
For me, I guess you could say that I am a "trophy meat hunter" because I eat (or share) what I kill, but I'm always looking for a big buck. I will kill a doe or a smaller buck if I need to fill my freezer, but my freezer is only so big. However, it is in need of some venison right now, so I will take the first opportunity of the season before I start to get picky.
