I’ve seen a couple of You-tube vids These look fun to hunt.

They need to be managed. Hunting them is more humane than starvation. I’ve seen a few feral hunts online…camels, donkeys, scrub bulls, and a few brumbies. Looks like a respectable hunting experience.

Awesome!

Awesome!

I saw a couple of Vervet hunts on YouTube. Looks like fun.

Well said. And I agree If there was a healthy population, and the hunt was ethically prosecuted, I would not hesitate to go after one of these silverbacks.

I’m wa I’m aware. I was speaking hypothetically. Poaching over the last fifty to one hundred years has made this a moot subject.

Yes. Same here. No problem whatever with hunting a line bull. I’d probably be interesting myself, under ethical circumstances. The specimen hunting expeditions, I find appalling.

That’s the one. Was controversial even then, despite the fact that the Gorilla in question, had been allegedly attacking villagers. In the same thread, there was a similar posting of a Mannlicher ad from the 1920s or ‘30s. Large specimen, and as I recall, that was in fact a trophy hunt...

To me, these procurement expeditions funded by zoos and museums are far worse, than a trophy hunter taking a lone, adult male.

Great info. Thanks for posting! There was an advertisement in the 1960s of a trophy hunter and a male gorilla he had taken. It was posted on an other forum a couple of years ago.

If we are talking attainable and realistic…Brown Bear, African Lion, Cape Buffalo. If we are talking fantasy…collect a couple of hunting buddies, time travel to the early Twentieth Century, hire a good outfitter, get lost in the wilds of Africa…and hunt EVERYthing.

It wouldn’t be on the same level with Africa, but a trip to Australia to hunt feral game, would be awesome. Populations are out of control, so not much if any kind of limit. Camel, Water Buffalo, Scrub bull, Donkey and Brumby. The Camels grow to large size, comparable to an Eland. Scrub...

The video of this hunt posted to the YouTube channel, is excellent.
