Exactly! REAL hunters do more for wildlife than most, but I'll wait for Higgins to set you guys straight
. My uncle has been "training" for months (hiking several miles per day w/ a 40lb backpack), 'cause he's dropping 20K to pursue a mountain ram on the north slope of Alaska in a few weeks. His guide does 4 trips per year and it's highly regulated. If my uncle can get with 500 yds of one (iffy), then I hope he gets one. He's also more of a woodsman and animal lover than most on this board I suspect....to each their own.
That dentist should face the full wrath of their legal system imo.
I haven't hunted since I was a youngin', and practice "catch & release" when I fish, but to place all trophy hunters into the same category as this azzhole dentist is a stretch from my perspective too....YMMV.
