Who feels the need to hunt a giraffe?


My father killed a giraffe in Africa. The giraffe had killed two people, so he was allowed to hunt it. The meat was given to the village people.

I have a buddy who killed a giraffe in Africa. They ate a little and the rest was given to a nearby village. These 2 guys don’t know shite.

A long neck and their kicks pack a lethal punch.

Plus, they could stomp anyone's arse.

Pretty cool to hear. I don’t follow the nba anymore, but it is refreshing to hear a former player thinking about generational wealth, and creating a place for future generations to enjoy.

also think using 900 acres on TX as your own personal safari or zoo is a waste of the land. With that amount of acreage you should be raising cattle.


He bought it and can do whatever the f he wants with it.

Go buy your own 900 acres and raise cattle.

Exactly. I don’t see how anyone can even get positive gratification from killing a big game animal. You aren’t going to eat it. You are also using equipment that does not even make it a challenge.

If you want to prove you are a bad arse, go to Africa or India and kill some King Cobras or Black Mambas. Killing animals that don’t threaten your property and that you also don’t use for anything after killing them is retarded.
