  • What does hunting teach you?
  • Is poaching getting better or worse?
  • What is rural sprawl?
  • What can we do to augment the wildlife population in Africa?
  • Should we optimistic or pessimistic about the future of wildlife in Africa?
  • Why does West Africa have fewer safaris and hunting areas than East and Southern Africa?
  • Is hunting more or less popular nowadays than in the last century? 
  • Does declaring a species "endangered" or "threatened" help or hurt the species?
  • Even if hunting is pragmatic, is it moral?
