What is Trophy Hunting?

Elk trophy hunting in Texas

Trophy hunting, or sport hunting, is a very organized activity wherein hunters hunt specific animals, usually larger species like rhinos, elephants, lions, pumas, and bears, under controlled programs. Hunters participate in this mostly for recreation, although they need a government license issued for the purpose. The word “trophy” was used to name the souvenir-symbol of a successful hunt and might be the head, skin, horns, or another part that will serve as evidence of the skill of the hunter.

Trophy hunting is an exciting adventure. However, it also has turned into a scheduled business, and due to the protection of the rare or vulnerable species, just controlled animals can be hunted and that too, with permission from the government. Every hunt has some governing rules to follow, like using only licensed weapons and following set quotas in the hope that the action is unduly sustaining and humane.

The IUCN has also recognized that responsible, well-managed trophy hunting can actually contribute to the effectiveness of wildlife conservation. It has been found in studies that many trophy hunters are interested in conservation and educated about ethical practices in relation to the well-being of animals they hunt. Trophy hunting, if controlled, raises great funds for conservation, as well as brings financial support to local people with jobs and funding for habitat protection. This dynamic is not only satisfying to the quest of a hunter but also goes a long way in being directly responsible for environmental protection where such animals live.
