He wrote the article in the latest link I posted. For some reason it won't let my copy & paste a snippet. He's basically of the opinion that hunting trophy specimens is a detriment to the population as you are removing them from the gene pool.

I'll take the word of a rat catcher from the UK over this man. Lol

That's why I think it's important to study and manage things mate. It would be a shame to see for example, male browns reaching 500lb -600lb when in the past they may have been hitting 700lb, I think shit like that is important.

You've got more front than Blackpool you walloper! A man that actively lies for a living calling others. You're just jealous because I had the balls to turn up, you fled to sea to escape the big bad world. Lol

I just don't like seeing something so powerful & majestic dead especially when you take in to account the global decline of large animals. Take the tiger, numbers might slowly improving but they are nothing close to what they were before we started hunting them.
-
They can be a real problem, there was a Gamedog breeder who had his yard virtually wiped out by Wolves, it was in Romania I believe.
-
They might not be rare, but they have become rarer according to this assessment. I've read a study on Tigers that read similar. Of course there be may be other factors also involved but as I said, it's a valid point that needs managing properly IMO.
-
Hopefully that's the case, but if there's evidence of the reduction in trophy sizes in studies of certain species then perhaps it may be a causation. I do know that many parks take in to consideration the age of individual animals, wether this is properly managed I don't know. As I said, putting more research and management in to trophy hunting can only be a good thing for the animals.
-
Not facetious, if the quality of trophy animals have diminished then it's a fair argument to suggest that poor planning and poor management may have taken place. If you just shoot all the trophy specimens with no consideration on whether they have adequately spread their genes then a reduction in quality is what you will find.

I think you may both be wrong mate. Accurate Buffalo Trophy Assessment - Conservation Frontlines WWW.CONSERVATIONFRONTLINES.ORG The term minimalism is also used to describe a trend in design and architecture where in the subject is...

I posted it not to emphasise wildlife numbers but to point out the studies that show trophy hunting has impacted the size of studied animals. I've read before that tigers don't reach the sizes they once did which makes sense if you just shoot trophy sized animals without some sort of planning behind it. Obviously, the smaller the population of said animals the bigger the impact it will have.

Looks delicious that but have you exchanged the pie for a breadcake? Lol

The cheek of it! I could count on one hand the posters that tell the truth on here, you ain't one!
-
The article i posted earlier had real evidence. I have also read other articles that I'm trying to find which conclude that unmanaged trophy hunting has had a negative effect on species sizes. I have thought of a few solutions, perhaps more monitoring of individuals, clarifying whether particular individuals have sired a set amount of litters. Colour coded tracking collars to ensure that a chosen trophy animal is at an age where he will have mated with enough females to have sufficiently spread his genes, etc.

Trophy hunting removes 'good genes' and raises extinction risk - BBC News WWW.BBC.CO.UK Hunting animals with the biggest horns, tusks or manes could lead to extinction, according to a study.

I've seen that cretin, if people are getting done for spreading misinformation then so should he.

They'll be bang on when they thaw out.

I can't understand the wait, maybe it's the fact that he's pleaded not guilty. Everyone around here are in the slammer within a few days.
-
I'm on a course mate remember lol. Anyway, second day back at it, this stuff is better than any caviar. Lol
-
The rat would, how the f**k can you plead not guilty when it's plastered all over the web, his words and intentions are clear to see.
-
Probably so, as I said, without it we likely would lose a lot of natural habitat, a growing population would also see more conflict between apex predators, etc. I imagine it's pretty complex finding the right balance.
-
Yep and that's a mantra I agree with. If hunting can persevere habitat and keep a sustainable population then I suppose it's a net win. I'm not entirely a fan because I've read a study which suggests that trophy hunting has a negative impact on animal size, meaning that larger specimens are getting all the more scarce.
-
I've always stated on here I am a hypocrite because I hate the killing of large apex predators but I know the conservation side of things is a complex matter. Hopefully they are doing things the right way to ensure a sustainable population.

I was there in the war zone whilst you was cuddling your Shepton Mallet on the sofa, there's levels to this son!
