I was in an argument with a anti hunter and he kept mentioning the series "trophy" on Netflix, which apparently is about unraveling the mysteries of the trophy hunting industry... I was wondering if anyone who has seen it can tell me if it's accurate
 
No,
I’m looking now, Don’t argue with the anti’s , there’s no point

It doesn’t seem listed on Netflix at least on my Australian account.
There are similar shows to watch
 
Your anti friend should turn off his close minded anti goggles when watching it and watch again. I actually send antis to watch it. The producer literally says in the documentary himself, that he started this project to destroy hunting in Africa. But then when he started making the movie, he realized there was more to this story and as per always, two sides to every story. I found it very unbiased and not pro hunting or anti. Which is what antis actually need, to get some education. Of the couple dozen people I have sent to watch it, all come back with a more central point of view. As a matter of fact I overheard a conversation in my office once with a girl who was SOOO ANTI that I sent to watch it. Where she actually was defending hunting to a new employee and was suggesting that she watch the same documentary. I heard that and simply walked away and let nature take its course lol.

Well done documentary and yes @Philip Glass may have some comments on the documentary. Michael Jordon cried once and has had a decade of memes about it. Philip got off easy lol.

It’s not a series it is an Emmy award winning documentary film released in 2017. I am one of the principal characters in this film. It was a story that opened up people from all walked of life to discuss trophy hunting and conservation. I made great inroads when speaking in person to here people around the country.
It started a conversation that continues today.....

Yes it started a conversation that continues in a positive way even today.
 
I saw it on Netflix. It's a fair look at both sides of the issue and describes how poaching and loss of native habitat to human population are the most significant factors to any decline in species. Also looks at game management with a particular focus on the gentleman who is ranching rhinos and trying to get them accepted as a managed species.
Kudos to Phillip Glass for his involvement.

its hard to convince someone who thinks animals are equal to humans

I thought that it was very fair.

No sense in trying. Move on to the next person and spend your efforts there.
 
Just finished watching Trophy, very unbiased and worthwhile watching IMHO

How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
