I for one thank you for posting this @Tahr, this thread was on my mind all day at work and it had me deep in thought which is not something I do often
Even reading the stories had my own memories flooding back of trying to drag roll and push my first large red all of about 20 meters through the bush and being totally burned out knowing all to well it took me over two hours to get to the location I made the shot and I wasnt going to be home for dinner..
It is interesting to me how different we all are here but also very much the same.
I know and have hunted/shot with many people who follow my school of thought but also with guys like yourself.
You clearly felt so strongly about the chap not taking home a memento head yet neglected to even mention the massive waist of meat left by this guy until prompted in about the 6th post.
While I may not be any closer to understanding the mind of trophy hunters and guys that blow a small house deposit on safaris shooting African beasts I dont intend to try and stop them from doing what they do. That would make me no better than a vegan PETA supporting cyclist. NO body wants to be that guy.
