Wolf hunting in Russia

If you are going to stalk and shoot a wolf then use a camera.

(I'm partial to a Nikon but hey thats the influence of me wife)

Like that you will have a real trophy which you can show to everyone - A fantastic shot of the wolf you saw - and who ran off with his pack.

It amazes me that people are so STUPID. The prices these people cite are comparable to the prices for well organized photo expeditions to shoot (with a camera!) wild animals - the great advantage is that with a camera you can manage to shoot the same animal hundreds of times - which means you can get dozens of trips out of the same animal - and you turn a bigger profit. Killing off wolves like this not only fails to make sense from a point of view of conservation - it also doesn't make sense as a viable economic model from which you can make money (which I suppose is what these people want to do).

Bah - end of rant.
