I dont understand trophy hunting at all, I do however understand hunting as a challenge and a skill.
If a large red deer is hunted and then eaten - I have no problem with a venison steak on my plate nor someone mounting the antlers on a board and sticking them on the wall or even their head (though I'd rather the antler for use myself!)
Shoot something and then have a picture taken of you with a carcass, hmmmmmm pointless.
Maybe they should marry the ethics of angling and hunting. If they arent catching fish to eat, then many people have a picture of them with their specimen carp or whatever and then return it. Perhaps if some smart guillie out there took their clients hunting with tranquiliser guns, got a picture and then left the animal to wake up, sports hunting could be a little more acceptable?
Or maybe not - far too silly, drowsey wild boar all over the Forest of Dean, just imagine it
