[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 262439, member: 704"] No Sum1 your not alone. When a guide has to not only find the animal, but also point it out they are not hunters, they are only shooters. I noticed the lady from the human society say only 1 percent of money comes from hunters. She evidently placed no value on the 40 tons of meat that local villages receive, and perhaps was ignorant of the funding to protect endangered animals from poachers. Speaking of endangered, the type of giraffe the lady shot was not endangered as the detractors dishonestly insinuated. As far as trophy hunting here in the United States I remember a little argument I had with a fellow wildlife professional. She looked down on me because I hunted bucks. She said she hunted does only because she was a meat hunter. I told her that on average I got more meat from my bucks than she got from does. She said she liked nice fat dry does. I told her I didn't like venison fat. I think the system Africa has works for them. The North American model is superior, but I have reservations recommending that for Africa. Poaching is already wildlife biggest threat in Africa and I think it would get worse trying to use our management plan. [/QUOTE]
