They didn’t get the nickname “the Black Death” for nothing. You pay the money it’s very possible you pay the piper. I’m sure he knew what he was signing up for, happens every year. And for the folks saying they won’t eat it…. The meat goes to local villages. Who need the meat more than so of us combined.

Yes, you are getting enjoyment out of killing an animal. Are you killing the elk for nourishment of your body or the joy of the kill. It is a fine line.

If you have a lust for blood, kill where it is needed like the feral hogs of West Texas.



Don't be one of those idiots whose opinion on hunting is directly correlated to how cute the animal in question is

Those hunters pay huge fees to hunt there. The money is used to preserve the land and herds, and stop poaching.


Or they just pay some corrupt local official to look the other way while they do whatever they want. Most of these “conservationists” would gladly kill the last living black rhino or whatnot in the name of “conservation” so they can hang it up above Braxton’s travel ball trophies in their pool room.

I get what you're saying, but if it's the last one, WGAF. What happens once that one dies?

It's not to say I wanted him to die or someone to get kidnapped, more so indifferent


You said “it’s exciting… it’s awesome… it’s great” in reference to him getting killed. That doesn’t sound very indifferent.


The whole hunting thing is exciting in that the hunter became the hunted. That he died, or had the Buffalo been killed I am indifferent on. If neither had died, it would be boring. Had he got the Buffalo, that's cool. The fact that the Buffalo manged to get the hunter, now that's an exciting turnabout, wouldn't you say?

I am surprised that more tourists in Yellowstone don't suffer the same fate from taking selfies with those massive creatures.



Two completely different species. Cape buffalo in Africa are some badass mfers. the ones in Yellowstone, American and Plains Bison, are just overgrown cows.

How did the buffalo know to kill him? Or, do they just kill anything in their territory?


I’ve been meaning to start a thread, since last night, regarding how Tigers in the wild hold grudges against those who have wronged them, whether that be another Tiger, but especially specific human beings that have attempted to kill or harm them or their offspring or committed an offense within their territory.

Wildlife behavior specialist begrudgingly have admitted that Kipling was correct and Shere Khan was based off the real fricking thing.

Weird. Why is a liberal celebrating a death?

Is it because he’s different from you? Because he has different beliefs on harvesting animals than you do?

I thought yall were supposed to be inclusive of ALL ideologies and walks of life?? Does he not get the same treatment? Why or why not?


I bet you don’t answer

The hunt, organised by Coenraad Vermaak Safaris, was reportedly worth a staggering $10,000 (£7,500)....


That’s not that expensive honestly


I know people who go on whitetail deer hunts that pay that
