    He probably had a tag for just that exact individual. Odds are it was issued because that individual was a hazard to the local area and or other members of the species. I used to hate big game trophy hunting but I have come to understand it is much more complicated and beneficial than the headlines lead people to believe.

    He probably paid an arm and a leg for that tag which was going to fund conservation and the meat was going to feed the village.

      Bro, we’re just glad a billionaire is dead. The irony of the hunter ended up dead by his prey is just icing on the cake, it wouldn’t matter if the hunter was a billionaire or not. The justification behind the hunt is irrelevant.

        I have no water to give for the dead here and I appreciate a fair fight.
        But the whole big game issue is way more of a public good than most people realize.

        Almost all of the tags issues are disruptive males so statistically it was a safe bet.

        But after checking I see that the DailyMail is stating it was a male.

          if you carefully re-read your earlier comment and mine, you will hopefully see the joke i was attempting to make

              ok i am going to accept failure and explain the joke: your comment did not, in fact, mention the buffalo being male. but i was pretending to have read it with the assumption that the “he” you were referring to was the buffalo, and the tagged individual who was a hazard to members of its own species was in fact the millionaire who died. get it now? 🙄
