All I'm saying is that why would you want to spend 40 grand on a "hunt" where you do exactly what the guide says, which is basically don't move until I say shoot, when you could actually hunt, for example, deer or bear or Pronghorn for less then $70 in the states. I dunno, like I said if it's a magagment thing, then I'm all for that...

but seriously I've seen videos of guys hunting Elephant and it really made me mad. There was like 8 guys and they surrounded the elephant, then the guide told the "hunter" to come up and shoot. I hope you guys are right when you say hunting hippo is nothing like what I saw in the video, because man, that was a bit upsetting.

It's different from hunting deer for 1, deer don't have 3 tons of meat on them and 2, deer don't cost 40 grand to hunt and 3, I promise you there is MUCH more deer on this earth then there is elephant and hippo combined, times two. I could have also swore that elephants were pretty close to being on the endangered species list?? Hmm, maybe not.
