Hunting lions/tigers/bears isn't for me but I still support it where it is absolutely essential for conservation.
A lot of my disdain comes from living in Montana and seeing an airport full of mounted predators and people that think killing magnificent hunters is some super masculine feat. I have more respect for lions, jaguar, tigers, bears, killer whales, sharks, cheetahs, wolves, eagles, hawks, than I do for crappie, bass, deer, elk, turkeys, pheasant, etc.
I'm coming around to thinking id enjoy going on a hunt. Ideally it'd be cold as eff and I'd have to hunt to survive. Preferably in a group of 3 or 4 and itd be a 2 to 3 week expedition.
