I'm not a fan of the whole idea of hunting "transplanted" animals, even in a fair chase hunt, but not because of ethical reasons. For me the whole attraction of shooting a Cape buffalo or eland is the idea of seeing Africa in the process. If someone else wants to shoot one in Texas it's their money, and their trip. I'm not going to ruin it for them. On the other hand, the meat is as much of a trophy to me as the head, and it would be somewhat easier to bring meat home to Iowa from Texas than from Africa. It sounds like this ranch has enough land for the game to have(at worst)a decent chance of getting away. As long as the animal has a chance, in my book it's still hunting and not simply killing. Just because I don't like the hunt doesn't mean I'm going to stop someone who does. Texas has some native game I'd like to hunt so maybe I'll end up there at some point, but if I ever shoot African big game it'll be in Africa.
