Hippo hunting what is ethical consensus?

I think this is very common in a lot of Africa in this day & age, with limited land near water where people want to grow crops & Hippos building up in some of these areas, they do a lot of damage & kill & maim many people ever year !

As this guy had done, I'm a PH, I hunted, sat & waited a lot of evenings & nights alone & with others on this guy, I was alone on the evening I did get him & yes it is sad to see the harmful things done to this guy but I was also elated to finally get him !

A DCA permit is a Damage Coursing Animal permit bit like a PAC animal in some areas .

I don't blame the Hippos at all, it is again too many humans that is the problem .

looking for 300 h & h flanged ammo
Looking for shipping advice. I will be hunting in Limpopo in March, and was wanting to know a general idea of shipping costs to return my mounts to the US when completed. Air or sea? Only plains game hunting.

Good morning 7MAG. I have a NEW, never mounted, Leupold M8-4X Extended Eye Relief scope that I will sell you for $325 shipped to you. I was a Leupold rep for 12 years and this was always our preferred mounting for a lever gun, scout rifle style.

You’ve got an interesting screen name. Will the Thrill provided lots of great times for me as a lifelong Giants fan. Even though I never met him, a number of buddies either duck hunted or shared a dugout with him. He’s a great guy according to those guys. Cool screen name and if that’s your real name, it’s a great one.
