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 .

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx
