Agree they are both trophy shots, but ask any angler, they would never quote another sport, over the trophy shot, his first comment was to use Angling, rather than comment on his hunting...i may be being a little pedantic, but that's how it came across to me

How often do anglers get demanded to justify their photographs and continued legality? Every single picture from a trophy hunt in the public eye will be met with hate, threats, sensational explanations to the reasons why and demands for justification. When/if anglers ever do I fully expect them to use similar examples from other activities to help explain their motivation behind their fish photos. It's a fairly standard debating tactic to use one generally acceptable act to justify another technically similar act. I see nothing wrong with what he did myself.

I don't agree with trophy hunting. Killing big males can have a detrimental effect on the size of species. Nowadays you won't find Tigers reaching sizes they once were before the British Empire and their guns arrived.

Mate, there is a wealth of scientific evidence, case studies etc that oppose your argument. You cannot compare imperial era hunting to modern hunting. Conservation of game was in it's infancy at that time and in fact the detrimental effects that unregulated hunting and human expansion was having on game numbers was the primary catalyst behind the conservation movement. Read the IUCN briefing in my signature, watch the fieldsports africa youtube video I put up yesterday.

What studies? I know I've read it or watched it somewhere about Tigers, I'll try and find it.

There are half a dozen in the IUCN report in my signature.

 

I don't disbelieve you about Tigers. But the claim is not relevant to an argument on modern trophy hunting. Hunting in India during the British Raj was not done with the conservation ethics of the present. It's just not a valid example in an argument against modern regulated trophy hunting. If you are interested in learning about modern trophy hunting practices then there is plenty of literature, the IUCN briefing being a very good place to start.

Well, speaking as a former water bailiff and lifelong mad keen angler most anglers I have come across fall into 2 definite category's .......1. They are completely clueless about field sports or that they are even classed as a field sport and 2. They are anti pricks every bit as bad as 99.9% of all the other ill informed bigoted f**k wits.

 

How many non hunting anglers supported field sports trying to prevent the ban?.....my guess is that it would be almost zero.

 

And I have to ask myself, why would it worry you that the bloke used angling as an example?.......it's a field sport where everything is about trophy shots so to me, it's the very best example.

Could there be a little of the "don't want angling associated with hunting" type thing going on I wonder?

 

Angling a been a quiet back water forever but I can still well remeber having proper set toos with anti lead shot / anti angling protesters on the bank side over 30 years ago........so don't shit yourself, be proud of what you are.
