I think the article was written with an anti - hunting slant which comes as no suprise and I also think that as John says, Mr De Beer is probably unhappy with his neighbour but at the end of the day it all comes down to a matter of ethics and every hunter must set his own standards on this. To me hunting DG behind fences isn't really right but that's just my opinion and shouldn't be enforced on others.

Without meaning to pontificate and then immediatly doing so!:-

The problem is that some hunters are a little gullible and it might not have even occurred to this hunter that he wasn't hunting a truly wild Elephant........so then I guess one must question the ethical integrity of whoever sold him the hunt.

The problem is that if we don't police ourselves as hunters then sooner or later someone else will do the policing for us - and then we all lose out.

The arguments about hunting ethics are endless and the conclusions uncountable........... So as I said I guess we all have to set our own standards..
