Yeah its a bit of a disgrace.

I don't have a problem with people shooting feral animals and those native populations that need to be controlled.

But big game hunting I have always wondered the mentality of the hunters. Harmless animals, just living life, and then the hunter comes along with a high-powered weapon - with a ball well in their court. Alot of these animals were never hunted naturally by humans in the first place, so i don't see why the situation has changed simply because of plentiful fortunes and transport. I'd like to see big game hunting with bare hands and basic weapons - where the hunter is likely to be within 50 yards and the animal has some realistic sense of defending itself and getting some revenge on the bastards.

I could go on forever, but I'll let someone else take the soapbox.

Cheers,
Ranger.
