| Interesting; is this in Australia? I've seen posts from Down Under concerning hunting feral horses- I make no judgement, in Hawaii feral cows are hunted. My question- what do you do with a camel after it's shot? Is it handled like a big varmint?  |

| Thats a bit harsh Ray. Camels are a major pest in parts of the Australian outback , but hunting them isnt quite as easy as you might imagine. the terrain is pretty open , and camels have height and good eyesight , there is little cover to sneak up through , and when you get in range the camel is a pretty large target that requires shot placement to drop on the spot. And likely all in temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius. Like hunting a school bus down at the local bus depot ? Dont think so , my man ......

Hunting any large animal in open terrain is relatively easy if you are conditioned to the environment- just like shooting livestock. |
