Who decides what is and isn’t considered hunting ?

Was not trying to make a gotcha point at all I was curious. Just trying to have a conversation on here not everything has to be hostile.

If you don’t mind me asking, how do you define hunting? Is a wild lion hunt on its natural range still true hunting, even if you didn’t personally spend days scouting, hanging baits, or building blinds? In many of those scenarios, you’re the one with the rifle making the shot, but the success...

I never understood why as hunters we cannot all stand side by side. We all love the hunting industry but seem to constantly be at each others throats about seemingly everything. The anti-hunters are a strong unified group cause they all have 1 common goal. Us we argue about the littlest things...

I am not sure how many times elephants have been shot from 200 meters….

Be warned you cannot only go to Africa only once. After the first trip you will be hooked. Welcome to the forum

Out of curiosity what sized scope were you using?
