Tiger-Spy in the Jungle

They did shoot some form of primate.  One of the US guys came back with it.

I missed that bit.  Did they give the primate a gun as well to make it a fair hunt?

A Yank with a gun or an unarmed primate...If it was a test of wits my money would still be on the primate.

[Graham C]

no, no gun for the monkey, but they did let him be shot.

How can you have a fair hunt? The aim of a good hunter should be to kill the animal as efficiently and painlessly as possible while allowing the animal a natural life up to that point. I could probably kill a rabbit by throwing stones at rabbits in the field, but a) I'd struggle, and have to be hunting them for a long time, during which they're in fear and unable to live their natural lives. b) there's a high possiblity of me injuring a lot of rabbits. I could go out with a .22 rifle and scope and the rabbit doesn't know what's hit it.

[boldie]

That only sounds fair...I mean the monkey wouldn't really feel part of the whole hunting experience if he couldn't even get shot, would he?

a fair hunt is a hunt where the animal has a chance of escaping...but Kin is being a pain in the arse,

This will all be a bit traumatic for Matt if he views the thread.

I got the gag, sorry. I was responding to the 'it's not fair, the hunter's got a gun' argument.

That's fine.  Boldie's always wrong so continue telling him.

I wasn't wrong in this case..I never said a hunt wasn't fair because someone had a gun ..I said an animal needs to be able to escape to make the hunt fair.

...and these animals kept in enclosures, with the hunters' hides placed strategically near the watering holes...

[Graham C]

It wasn't like you'd expect an enclosure to be though, it was a fairly large area of land, but yeah they were set up as bait pretty much.

It's not something I'm desperate to do, but I do enjoy clay pigeon shooting.   I enjoy wild boar sausages too, so if the two happened to combine somehow for me, I may give it a go but I wouldn't bust a gut to do some hunting.

and that makes it an unfair hunt.
