I just received an email from a very good friend of mine yesterday, the subject was "Buffalo". I figured it was that picture of the moose trying to hammer the buffalo statue. It wasn't.
My buddy just moved back to our old home town with his wife to work on her family's ranch. Very large family with Alot of property. The pictures he sent were of a penned up buffalo that they had just purchased so they could sell the hunt on their property. This buffalo was in a little pen on the property and the pictures looked like it was a petting zoo.
To each his own I guess, but the money side of hunting, and seeing how it is becoming huge is what bothers me. I am not talking about the expenses we all endure preparing for a hunt, or the hunt itself. It's the spending massive amounts of cash to kill an animal that can't escape. Then posing for photos over the kill when your clothes still smell of laundry detergent, you have deodorant on, and not one blister on your feet. I would sell my guns and give it up before being taken by the hand to an animal.
Just my personal opinion.
