Not a fan of the “sport”. Head out with only a knife and bring home one of those trophies and ill be impressed.

you should educate yourself on how hundreds of species would go EXTINCT without the millions of dollars raised by these private hunting grounds that directly go into wild conservation.

Sounds like bullshit PR. Let's let people hunt animals, to save money so that we can save animals? Wild conservation is leaving them the fuck alone.

again, you should go educate yourself before making misleading posts. Leaving wildlife alone works in a FANTASY world. The reality is that poachers won't leave them alone and will hunt them into extinction, especially those dumb fucks in China where they think Rhino horn will help them get their dicks hard. Also, people are starving in Africa, so they will kill to eat irrespective of how on-the-brink an animal is.

The private hunting grounds PROTECT, BREED and REINTRODUCE endangered wildlife that would otherwise go extinct. NONE OF THE MEAT GOES TO WASTE! Meat is donated to tribes and villages where every last bit of the animal is utilized.

I follow everything else in your post except this part. Wouldn't this happen in any third world place where food is scarce? Is that morally un-justified to feed yourself in any way possible?

Say you got some forest and Jungle with endangered prey, common prey and common predator - leave it wild and the endangered prey is likely to go extinct from the common predator and poachers, manage it as a hunting ground and the money is taxed and used to fund preservation efforts - stopping poachers who hunt young+out of season, keeping the ecosystem alive and preventing it from being sold as timber/new farmland.

Paradoxically to what you'd think, hunters are the biggest force for ecological preservation and keeping wild game - if species went extinct they'd have nothing to hunt!

I'm not a hunter myself but am a man of many interests - conspiracies, nature, Christianity, music, populism/FuckNWO/CCP, etc. so know a little about it.

Hunters aren't typically doing it for food, so is the idea that they hunt more of the surplus predators, who aren't typically favored in diet?

Trophy hunting is actually good for conservation because it encourages the locals to protect the animal population from poachers and stuff.
