If you want to make it into to something, some life and death struggle, go after these animals with your bare hands. That is, of course, absurd because they’d be killed. So take a knife. If you take down a lion with a knife, good for you. That will impress me.

LOL

I have to agree with him. I don't think most of the animals that one would consider trophy hunting are in any danger of overpopulation.

My dad used to say exactly that - hunting isn’t a sport. You want to make it one? Go hunting bengal tigers with a knife.

@jon-nyc actually it would be more fair equal equitable honest if no knife were involved.

Think of all the hookers' lives saved by providing this outlet to those with a need to kill.

Got a friend that killed a cape buffalo with a spear.

And yep, the head is in his trophy room.

If the hunter can't use his big brain to make killing tools, then the tiger can't use it's claws and muscle.

The fittest will win, that's the rule.
