Fair-Chase Hunting Feeds Humanity and Supports Conservation by Preventing Poaching

An outstanding team that walked high and deep into the mountains in search of old loner bulls.

A team of 20 real men and a stalwart female game scout were gifted all the meat from this bull hippo for their hard work. We had trekked high into the mountains for days in search of outcast loner Kakuli bulls, reaching our intended destination by morning on Day 3. They wore heavy packs on their backs filled with tents, food, and gear like they would wear a badge of honor.

Any young kid from the suburbs or inner city who could do what they do for just two weeks (assuming they could last beyond 2 days) would mature into a well-grounded adult filled with grit and determination. They would know responsibility and sacrifice for the sake of the mission.

For the critics of hunting who rely on meat processors and grocery stores for their food, play pay close attention to the photos. Well over 3,500 pounds of hippo lay on the beach.

The following photo shows what was left from the gutting and skinning process - a blood spot in the sand and the grass that was in the hippo's stomach.

The rest of the carcass, in totality, was butchered on site and transported back to their camp. Even the meat among the bones in the feet, intestines, organs, and stomach lining will provide valuable protein for their deserving families.

And while we were hunting, our presence in the hunting block made it less vulnerable to poaching. Think about it.
