I'd say the animal is always the underdog against a high tech equipped predator.

"The reasons behind the buffalo attack on the trackers remain unclear".
This journalist really don't get the basic correlation of an animal attacking back?

If you wanna call it a “sport” you have to let both sides win and lose.

Aye, I would probably respect a hunter if he killed a grizzly or Buffalo with a handful knives in CQB. Never understood where the "thrill" is in just shooting something from afar. Especially some"thing" that's inherently more valuable than the hunter.

I don't hunt. Don't care for it, had no possibility to either.

But, we as a species have had thousands of years where the man went out to hunt for food for his family. This instinct is still there, even though it is no longer necessary. But I'd imagine that is the reason that hunters hunt. It's an activity we have been wired to do.

Some of us found other ways to "hunt", like gaming, or chasing work goals, basically anything that will require you to focus for a while on one single thing with a clearly defined goal to get to. But I can imagine if you are raised in family where hunting is still done, it would be easy to pick it up for yourself.

Yeah sure I get the thrill of the hunt. What I don't get is the incredible asymtery we developed in it. Shooting a lion with a sniperrifle makes no sense to me. The lion wouldn't even know from where it hit him. Of course I exaggerated with the grizzly and the knife, but isn't the thrill of any sport a fair (in theory) competition? These animals have not the slightest chance. And this slight chance is also just getting away if the hunter missed.

Shooting an animal would feel to me like fighting a toddler that is also nailed to a chair.

Effeciency. I know a lot of hunters that also eat what they kill, and adhear to limits. It's a lot of work dressing and animal post kill. Also, its just stupid to hunt without a ranged weapon. Especially against larger animals.

Now, to the guys that just hunt for sport and not eat the kill...their heads belong on a wall too.

Asking the right questions.

Screenshot combination. For my phone it's volume down + power

Imagine bringing a gun to a horn fight and still loosing the fight

I misread it and was sad that the millionaire hunter was killed. We should invent millionaire hunters.
