Hey guys.Wanted to get your opions about the big money hunts some people go on then display their "trophies" for the world to see and then classify themseves as a trophy hunter.Don't get me wrong I'm not saying there is anything wrong with paying an outfitter for the chance at a trophy animal,I'm talking about the hunts where the guides let you know what animal to shot and then charge you by the inches.You know the type hunts where a client can spend 10,000 dollars or more for a deer.Oh yea these are the same guys that look down at us hunters that take a lesser animal too.
I don't know from first hand info but I think your 10k amount might be low in an upper class place. Last year when I was duck hunting, I saw some nice pics of a few bucks. I asked about bow hunting there and was told it was a place where they point and say thats 50k, that one is 75k and the one over there is 90k. I just shook my head and said wow.
It aint hunting to meand neither is paying a hooker for sex. There's no thrill in the hunt but the more you pay the better looking the trophy is and there is a market for it.
