Could it be that in one thread there is photographic evidence?
The other thread, it seems like evidence is being gathered. (Sorry, I have been away from the computer and am not sure where it stands) If there is a preponderance of the evidence, it is a good bet some comments will be posted.
Possibly. The kudu may be the youngest "trophy", many have ever seen posted on AH.
Possibly not. If this trophy had been taken by another outfitter, there probably would have been comments made. Would the comments have been this strong? Probably not. Why? In the past two years have any other outfitters integrity been called into question multiple times here on AH? There is a tendency in small groups of people to police themselves and watch out for each other.

In a nutshell, this question is probably the reason for this thread.

Dobber, bless you! Thank you for the report. I hope you finish it. I have enjoyed reading it.
I give you a tremendous amount of credit sticking around and posting your convictions. I have seen others become embarrassed, leave a forum and never come back. You have character! I would consider myself fortunate if I ever have the opportunity to share a campfire with you.
Landowners should be allowed to manage the game on their properties the way they want. There is a difference between a game farm in RSA and an open area in the Selous, where it is the PH/outfitters responsibility to take mature animals.
Conversely, it is the outfitters/PH's responsibility to get the best trophy animal available if it is a trophy hunt. If it is not a trophy animal it should be charged accordingly.
