from my count, there were 7 mounted lions at the HSC show, how many were wild lions (free range)?

the one with pink toe nails was a urban raised lion
sorry i could not resist

From what I could tell and the opinions of multiple other PH's in the show, there was 1. Does this say anything about lion hunting?

I saw quite a few rhions, but only one true wild lion.

Another way to look at it would be does the HSC focus more on captive bred lion hunting and less on true wild lion hunting.

Did anyone talk to the girl from the University of Pretoria doing the survey on lion hunting? She asked a lot of good questions about the opinions of hunters, etc related to captive bred and wild lion hunting.

Didn't pay any attention at the time, but thinking back, I didn't notice a lot of scares on the one I paid attention to.

she surveyed me, thought she did fairly well until the end when she asked what I had named the lion I killed.

There was a guy at DSC from Univ. of Pretoria doing the same survey.
