Trophy hunting has become a dirty word, with even some hunters joining in the demonisation of trophy hunters. But is trophy hunting evil? Or does it play a vital role in wildlife conservation?
Turn on the TV, log on to social media, or open any newspaper, and you’ll quickly see your freedom to hunt is under attack. But the enemy is not what you think. While there will always be militant vegans and anti-hunters leading the charge against hunters with their #bantrophyhunting movement and their […]
Public outrage about hunting on social media. You would think we’d be used to it by now but every week there seems to be a new outrage going viral. Not too long ago, the Royals were the target of a media storm when they took their son, George (aged 5), […]

Every social justice warrior on the Internet seems to be calling for a hunting ban these days. Every few months, there’s yet another wave of public outrage inspired by a photo of a hunter posing with a trophy. There’s a somewhat reluctant acceptance that meat hunting can be justified but […]
Hunters have plenty of enemies in today’s PC, take-offense-at-everything culture. Anti-hunters, angry vegans, and opinionated celebrities, like Ricky Gervais, constantly bombard hunters with vile threats and hate on social media. So as hunters, what should we do when we face opposition online? For us, we take a leaf out of […]
We have all heard it said that trophy hunting is harmful to wildlife conservation. Tell that to the rare and endangered markhor, which is actually growing in number since Pakistan introduced trophy hunting as part of its wildlife conservation program.
