If I or anyone just wants to shoot something, fine, but to claim it as anything with the words Trophy or hunt in it is a joke.

That sort of thing is often said, especially on forums run by broken down hack keyboard "hunters".

However I think, if one feels shame about one did, needs to lie about it and how it was done and invent fictional hero stories, doctors the photos to remove the high fence, the stock yards, the chopper behind, then that hunter has already answered the truth about those sort of "hunts".

We all know how it is done. The tahr is shot in a pen. A chopper flies it and the client without a spot of dirt on their clothing, if a female, perfect hair and make-up, grinning proudly beside the tahr up on a mountain somewhere. (ie or male, just no make up). Or the beast is shot out of the door of the chopper.

Only ever saw one Kiwi chopper "hunt" where the client was either open enough, or stupid enough, to pose with the chopper behind him. He shot the animal from the chopper, then posed with the chamois (or whatever it was) with the chopper behind. He copped it bigtime. Poor honest guy!

If one is culling pests, eg pigs, donkeys, whatever really, out of a chopper door, well that might be just good fun, but please don't call it hunting, or any animal a hunting "trophy".
