I'm the one without antlers.
To follow up on trophy hunting. I have 30 heads from around the world and hope to continue to add more to my colection. For every animal I shoot, I spend thousands of dollars, which go directly to help the overal heard. Hunters are the only organized group that actually helps the animals. We want more animals in the future so we can continue to hunt them. Examples of success stories directly atributed to hunters are the Rocky Mt. Elk, Tule Elk, Shiris Moose, Desert Bighorn, Rocky Mt. Bighorn, Bison, Woods Bison, Southern Pronghorn, just about evey turkey species, snow goose and my favorite, the wood duck.
Common sense and history has shown that landowners will protect their livestock over native wildlife with limited amounts of feed and water. In Namibia, where I hunted, the local ranches killed off the native wildlife to extinction in some species during the beginning of the century. About 20 years ago a few land owners started bringing back some species for hunters, which has grown into a multi billion dollar industry in the countries that allow hunting. If you look at the condition of the wildlife in Kenya, a country that outlawed hunting in the early 70, they went from the highes population of elephants to being almost extinct. Hunters protected the animals due to the high prices paid. Elephant hunts start at $1,000 a day with 14 day minimums plust a trophy fee from a couple grand to over $20,000. Some elephant hunts are going for over $50,000. Ask yourself, who's going to save the elephant. The person getting the big money, or the person whos having the elephant eat his crop.
In California it is illegal to hunt Mt. Lions. Since this has happend, the Department of Fish and Game has to Euphenize more lions per year that were ever killed when hunted. Tax dollars coming in or spending tax dollars.
There is not one single place in the world when proper game management, (hunting) hasn't improved overall herd conditions and population levels. It is a proven fact that when hunting a species ends, the species levels decline and disapear.
Don't confuse poaching with hunting. Hunters protect the wildlife, poachers don't follow any rules.
PS Every part of every animal I shot in Namibia was eaten. The locals would put the liver right on the open fire and cut little pieces off. The stomach went into a soup of some kind and the entrails got hung up to dry. They ate every piece of meat, and did it with a smile.

Spencer is the one on the right. I am on the left. The middle guy is an advertising campaign we have going. Baby Bear. Poppa Bear was too hot, momma bear was too cold, but baby bear was "Just Right" because they called Tonna Mechanical. The theme has gone on for two years and has done pretty well. All of our ads are animated.
