Finally read the article. I don't see JB's concerns about use of a cross bow or shooting a hippo in water. Never thought about these as ethical concerns before, and most seem to be shot in the water. I know some people want to hunt one on land as it is more challenging and can be so much more fun.

As for the article, can someone please tell me how it was a "dangerous game" hunt?

Why do these writers always feel the need to try and me all manly and claim it is dangerous and death defying?

Hippos do kill a lot of people, but usually unsuspecting people swimming or Africans in boats, or unlucky people in front of them when they go running downhill to water when surprised on land.



He he, my closest call on hippo was on my honeymoon, going past an unfriendly hippo on a sandbar, while we were in a canoe and I stopped for a photo. Two Zambians came to the river bank to enjoy seeing a Mazungu white man and his wife killed in a canoe.

No death defying cross bow hunt from land required. :0
