While I agree in principle, and I don't ever hire a guide, and insist on tying my own flies and loading my own ammo, still I must disagree with your conclusion.

Firstly, it runs counter to the truism that if it flies, floats or fornicates, then it is cheaper to rent it. And we are free market supporters, aren't we?

Secondly, the animals in the "hunts" are not going to be supported for the rest of their lives by sweet lil' grannies willing to foot the bills for their upkeep.

Lions, for example, breed like alley cats. Got kittens? How about lion kittens? Think any neighbor will give them a home?

As for the spear hunting, any hunter using a spear on a lion may so do without intereference from me. Such a hunter is either a vastly better hunter than I or is channelling an ancient Norse berserker.

In the latter case, can I watch when the PETA Person starts the usual badmouthing at the next spear hunt? Please?? Can I bring my camcorder???
