And you are personally going to guarantee that only the old bulls are taken?

I doubt that the PTB in Zimbabwe are going to be so environmentally conscientious.

You obviously are uninformed on this subject or you would not ask such a question. So, let me educate you. Big Game Hunting is arranged via Safari Companies. Only. All else is Poaching. The $25K is just the charge for the Tag to take one Bull Elephant. The total cost of a Safari can easily exceed $50k. In many cases, the Hunters purchase Tags for multiple animals and the costs approach $500K.
The profits from these Safari’s go to pay locals to track Poachers and jail them. The meat from the kills is given to the local villagers. I have been on Safari. I speak from experience.

Sounds like you’d prefer the park rangers be unfunded so the poachers can kill as many elephants as they want.

Hunters were the first conservationists. They have funded far more conservation projects than you . A certain percentage of a species dies every year whether hunted or not. Hunting in Africa funds the park rangers who protect the animals. Without that funding the poachers run wild.

But all you know is Bambi.
