"In the words of author and hunter Peter Hathaway Capstick, “It is my personal opinion that hippo meat is one of the finest of game foods … The taste is mild, less than lamb and more than beef, slightly more marbled than usual venison. It tastes exactly like, well, hippo.”"

Hippopotamus - To my surprise, it's the hippo that is considered the most dangerous animal in Africa. They seem very docile but when provoked, watch out. 3,000 people per year die from hippos.

Listened to some Hunter at Dallas Safari Club show one time.. Was talking about how he had to dive under the hippo (in the water) to avoid it...

nope nope nope

then they had to swim out there to tie ropes to it..

1. When would there be a season?

2. Duck season, at least in south Louisiana, would be a lot more "interesting"

3. How many "cajun" recipes would there be for hippo?

A hippo could fill a freezer for a long time.

We would have to beef up our skinning racks!!

The benefits of blackened hippo greatly outweigh the risk of hippos in the wild. Do it.

Mosquito is the most dangerous animal in Africa. Not as much fun to hunt though.
