To hunt Hippo or not?

Thank you sir.
 
RIGHT ON JOHNNY!!!!!
 
Ok everyone, my decision is with the majority of the forum. Buffalo and hippo it stays.
I'll bet it was that charging video [emoji12] . It certainly got me excited about hunting them!
 
Good call Johnny!
 
I just wanted to thank everyone for their opinions, insight , input and jokes. This was a fun thread even though at times I was more confused than when I started. Want to wish everyone a safe and productive season. I look forward to the photos and reports from members.
 
They are going to find some relatively obscure midget hippo

your wish... here you are charlie pygmy hippo :D adults and a baby.

And the antis will say very soon that because there are not 50,000 Pygmy Hippo in the wild that they are endangered. Therefore, all hippo will need to be put on the up listing track and taken out of available animals to hunt.

Thank you @spike.t for providing the needed picture evidence!

Get your hippo now folks!
