Talking ethics.....

I know someone who has an amazing off-type sambar head on the wall. It was taken under the light and -because of this - he has never bothered to have it properly scored or entered on ant list.
At least he is honest enough to not pretend otherwise.

That is pretty much the point when it comes to trophy scoring systems. They tell us more about the species than they do about the hunters or the hunt. I look at such things as a of a good animal - what could have been a memorial to a great hunt is reduced to just a genetic oddity and a bit of luck. That's not something of which to be overly jealous.

From a completely different angle....
Most of the creatures that we hunt, have their defences tuned against hunters with muscles and teeth and claws. Their defences are NOT designed to defend against predators in camouflaged polarfleece who get their ability to kill from a lathe and a chemical factory - and who often attack from outside the range of the animal's awareness.

Hunting with hounds allows the prey to use its natural defences - speed, stamina, cunning - to the full against the speed and stamina of the pursuing pack.

Tell me how this is wrong and "unfair"?
