I used to enjoy watching the outdoor hunting channels until they became nothing but infomercials for equipment and guided hunts

Agree.

And I'm sure you've seen the prices for some of these hunting adventures. One nearly has to be wealthy just to partake in what you described. No joke.

I have a high school friend who is wealthy and over the years has made two month long trips to Africa on safari hunts. Each trip cost him approx. $35,000..........

Do I agree with it? No..

But with that being said, such expeditions are necessary to the economy of the respective poverty stricken regions and are closely monitored by the local authorities.

The animals legally taken by license are given to the local community as a food source and my friend closely documented his travels via camera and has presented slide show presentations to the local schools in his area of Michigan.

As for me, I'd rather spend opening day weekend of pheasant hunting season walking fields with a buddy and maybe a dog and getting shut out than a day of shooting planted birds on a private preserve...........
