What does a pretty woman clearly killing for enjoyment have to do with Bushcraft? Not that I am particularly opposed to it you understand, I just don't get the relevance

The post is in the Fair Game forum which means it is acceptable to this forum. It needs no justification and it is quite relevant to the forum, which is called Fair Game. Additionally, indigenous natives who make their living through bushcraft do not go to the grocery store. They hunt and fish and forage. How much more relevance is needed? I find your comment "clearly killing for enjoyment" a form of baiting or trolling. Don't continue it.
I can see that it may have appeared as a bit of a troll and for that I apologise. But the picture gets my back up. I've absolutely no problem with killing for subsistence or even to maintain healthy populations and I admire a forum that allows a sensible discussion of such things which I would also call fair game. But bow hunting in Africa for trophies is neither of these things and I think should not be relevant or in any way promoted in this forum. That is my opinion. I do not mean to offend anyone and I'd be sincerely interested to hear other views on this.

Well that got off to a good start!
I would only add that the chick used a bow which is considered more relevant to "bushcraft" on this site than a rifle and that the hunt brought 'fulfilment' rather than any delight in the act of killing.
Cheers

christ another thread pulled to bits by people debating ethics. its legal, people enjoy it, get over it.
i think you'll find if you look into it hunting trips in africa do an incredible amount of good for conservation, the animals have to be culled anyway to maintain sustainable and healthy populations and the proceeds are often used to set aside more land as game reserves.
for example, rich bloke goes to africa and pays $6400 to hunt a kudu, oryx, wildebeest and an impala. thats his limit he can oly hunt one of each and there's no guarantee that he'll actually get them. he obviously wants to get a nice trophy so the guide's pick out the animals that have impressive horns and antlers, which tend to be the old male animals. by hunting the old males the young males can mature and mate with the females, resulting in a stronger population and more variation in the gene pool.

Actually I agree with pretty much everything you've said. Live and let live, whatever floats your boat, etc. I just don't think the photo is relevant or in tune with this forum, that's my view, feel free to disagree. I've not been on here much recently, saw the photo above and expressed an opinion; however I've just now seen other threads on bow hunting which I will read and so won't perpetuate or repeat any of those arguments here. So if the mods want to move or delete my non-betty posts, go for it.
