Look at big game hunting in Africa for example. As soon as its mentioned they come out oh the big bad hunters paying to kill. Next sentence is about how many are poached. Two different subjects. Most have no clue about hunting so my point is if it was filmed well and a good show then so be it good stuff. I’ve hunted a few countries now where they do it differently. Open your eyes a little it’s good for the soul

You say that it 'sounds like it was done in a good way'. In what possible way is it good when people fire at a full pelt running buck/ deer or anything else for that matter? Too shoot an animal's hoof or jaw off, just because it's easier to harvest ( if you catch it) is rubbish. I'd rather stay home. Regards shooting commercially, it's done very successfully in Africa and contributes to anti poaching very well. What you refer to is not hunting I agree and should not be encouraged or filmed for the good of people to gloat over as a 'good show'. Oh, and I've lived in Africa for 40 years and I can assure you that my eyes were open in the bush, for both animals and insurgents. How's the weather in the UK today?
