"Yes.... animals do adapt. If they are repeatedly ambushed from cover, they spend more time I the open. If they are shot in the open, they become allergic to open spaces. "

One way you can tell a NZ canned hunt, is when it is on a tiny block of say 200 ha, high fenced. The client says his trophy hunt was sporting, there was lots of heavy cover. But he shot his trophy out in the open. Why definitely canned other than the obvious tiny block size? The animal was probably put out a day or a few days before the "hunt". Otherwise if on such a tiny block with constant clients chasing game, any wild animal will be nocturnal, hiding in deep cover by day and feeding by night.

Well I hope you never hunt in countries with long and deeply held hunting cultures and traditions, else you might get a big surprise ...

Peter, I hope you have some sort of a sense of humour. It is needed here on NE ...
