....but what is the sport and thrill of shooting an animal purported to be "dangerous" if it is too far away to actually be DANGEROUS. Its like riding on the kiddie rides because you are afraid to ride the mega roller coaster and saying you rode the rides at the amusement park.

When someone hunts DG from well outside the actual threat zone and then sings their self praise for killing a DG, they steal all the valor from those that actually put themselves (by accident or design) in danger. Yep Im back to thinking they should be ridiculed. If a hunter can be shamed world wide simply because he shot a Lion named Cecil then someone who does it from complete safety deserves more. Its like guys who strap themselves to a skydiver and then fall out of a plane saying they are a skydiver. Tandem ISNT skydiving its like riding a roller coaster while letting some guy rub his "junk" against your ass. Real skydiving and real DG hunting doesnt have a professional pulling the trigger for you from a safe zone. Guys used to scream about Mark Sullivan but at least he was close enough to face the threat.

I think it IS about distance but distance measured/determined by how fast/far a particular animal can travel when charging. A charging Lion vs a charging Elephant vs a charging Hippo or Cape Buffalo or Bear etc etc AND how much of a real threat they can be when attacking.
