Hippo hunting what is ethical consensus?

I think this is very common in a lot of Africa in this day & age, with limited land near water where people want to grow crops & Hippos building up in some of these areas, they do a lot of damage & kill & maim many people ever year !

As this guy had done, I'm a PH, I hunted, sat & waited a lot of evenings & nights alone & with others on this guy, I was alone on the evening I did get him & yes it is sad to see the harmful things done to this guy but I was also elated to finally get him !

A DCA permit is a Damage Coursing Animal permit bit like a PAC animal in some areas .

I don't blame the Hippos at all, it is again too many humans that is the problem .

Saw a good looking knife you posted a pic of with the watermelon. Can I ask the make? Looks like you hunted with Guav Johnson? We overlapped in the Save once. Would like to hunt with him one day..
