I really don't think that's the case either. The guy I spoke with that had hunted with him several times, told me that he was a joy to hunt with, and he was able to take many good animals with him. I think if you overlook the bs and look at the actual hunts, he isn't really that much different than a lot of PH's. He just has a lot more courage than most people are willing to follow. I've seen many African hunts where the clients are obviously scared to even be around a buffalo, much less follow a wounded one. And the part about him hunting Hippo on dry ground, that seems to me to be the only way to do that, that even resembles a real hunt. Shooting them in the head while they float in a river is about as "non hunt" as you can get. But that seems to be the norm with most safaris I've seen on TV, at least. So I really don't get the unethical part that everyone speaks of. How is following a buffalo right away, and killing him sooner than later, unethical? I think waiting around a half hour to let him "stiffen" is more unethical. But on the other hand, it is the PH's responsibility to keep the client safe as well. I guess in the end, I'm just trying to see the other side of the coin that most people don't care to look for.... |
