Wouldn't it have made things more interesting?

Duck hunters with painted faces in pro-drives getting attacked by hippos. Would have been great.

Hippo hunting sounds fine until you think about hauling out the decoys.

You're worried about the decoys? I bet one backstrap on one of those bad boys weighs 100lbs.

Been there, done that. They float! Does require a tractor or a helluva truck to get them onto land.

Do they eat salvinia? If so we need to drop a few hundred in Big Shitty (Bistineau)

Shot mine with a 375 H&H Magnum right in the noggin. Lots of hide and a thick skull requires some penetration, but shot placement is key.
