Maybe big country, but shooting a giraffe isn't gonna help either. Let's be honest, is someone actually going to Africa to help the economy, or are they going to kill something or both? If you say both ok fine, you and I know that going to kill something is at the top of the list of reasons. Fine, just say it, say that I want to shoot a giraffe to shoot a giraffe and mount it!! Don't try to sugar coat it by giving me all the other reasons such as helping the economy or feeding the village.That couldbe resolved by sending 20,000$ to the locals, it would go much further than you paying a government and an outfitter that is also owned by a white man who doesn't share the wealth. Trust me on this, I may not know everything about African countries, but I know a lot about them,they are mostly run by corrupt governments and the money you spend ain't going to the locals or the tribes.It doesn't matter to me that you shoot a giraffe to mount it, just don't give me the BS. I shoot big bucks to mount them and eat them and for the memories, if that's why someone shoots a giraffe, then say it. I still say it's silly, am I not entitled to my opinion? Everyone else on here seems to have their opinion of me and that mine is wrong.
