Is the zoo a good place to go hunting?

not really, it's hard to retrieve your game when it's behind a fence.\n\nhowever, i've shot alot of pigeons in old buildings downtown.

I don't hunt, but my husband hunts wild turkey, bear, and deer.  I used to think it was cruel, but after I went with my husband a couple of times I realized that when an animal is shot, it dies a much quicker and easier death than animals brought to a slaughterhouse or deer that get old enough to get slow and be unable to avoid coyotes.  Wild game is very nutritious and much easier to digest, especially for pregnant women and people with diseases of the digestive system.    Hunting feeds my family!  And hunters who are only interested in the trophy parts (hide, antlers, etc.) can donate the meat to several programs that use it to feed hungry families.  Of course, there are always those irresponsible people who make all hunters look bad by poaching, ignoring property laws, littering, or taking bad shots and risking wounding an animal rather than killing it.  But overall, I think hunting is a great tradition that goes back to the beginning of mankind, and is still necessary for a lot of families who would not otherwise be able to afford pricey grocery store meat.

Wildlife at Cameroon\n\nCameroon has a number of national parks created with the intention of protecting wildlife and flora. In many parts of Africa it is said the tourists outnumber the animals. Not so in Cameroon, where visitors are limited, and the parks are pristine.\n\nWaza National Park in the extreme North covers an area of 170 000 hectares, and is home to the "big five" animals of Africa. Safaris are conducted there by several companies, and visitors can see the animals roam free in near pristine conditions.\n\nBoubandjidda National Park covers 220 000 hectares, and is the most remote , and beautiful, being located on the border with Chad. It is home to the black rhinoceros and antelope. Lions roam freely throughout the area. Dinosaur fossils are also located in the park.\n\nStacking Your Postcards\n\nBenoue National Park\nNear the town of Garoua, Benoue is open December-July. Crocodiles and hippos live in the Benoue River, while land animals graze on the banks. 425 mi/685 km northeast of Yaounde\n\nDouala\nDouala has done a lot to earn the sobriquet 'armpit of Africa' - dull architecture, stifling humidity, crime and economic chaos. So why go? The main reason is that it's a good base for exploring much more interesting places nearby. Kribi, Limbe and Mt Cameroon are all within a few hours' journey. Given that Douala is also Cameroon's main hub for air travel, you'll probably end up spending some time in the city.\n\nDouala does have a couple of interesting sights of its own, including the landmark Hôtel Akwa Palace, located in the heart of town, a few hundred metres south-east of the shore of the Wouri River. It's the perfect spot to hang out on the terrace with a morning coffee and croissant, sizing up your fellow travellers. A kilometre to the south-west is the Musée de Douala, located in the hôtel de ville (the town hall). Though disorganised and filled with mostly mediocre Bamoun and Bamiléké pieces, the museum's free and by studying its exhibits you'll be better able to judge the craftwork for sale on the streets.\n\nThe best place for artifacts is the Artisianal Camerounais, an open-air crafts market located about halfway between the Akwa Palace and the town hall.\n\nKribi\nSet on the Atlantic coast, Kribi (pop. 10,000) has excellent white-sand beaches with good restaurants overlooking the sea. The area isn't very crowded, so it's a good place to spend a couple of relaxing nights. 70 mi/115 km south of Douala.\n\nLimbe\nThis ocean-side resort has wide, flat, black-sand beaches, botanical gardens and pleasant accommodations. Take a look at the old Limbe zoo, now a primate rescue center. In the evening, taste the barbecued mackerel and bass that are sold at stands along the road. The drive from Douala to Limbe (pop. 31,000) is an easy one that takes you past working rubber, banana and palm oil plantations. 65 mi/105 km southwest of Douala.\n\nParc National du Waza\nWaza has some of Central Africa's best wildlife, though its scrubby, flat terrain isn't particularly scenic. The major attraction is the hundreds of pachyderms that congregate at Mare aux Eléphants, the main watering hole. Visitors are also likely to spot lions, giraffes, hippos, antelope, kob, baboons and monkeys. The park's many species of birdlife include hornbills, ostriches, crested cranes, herons and storks. The best time of year to see animals is from March to May, which unfortunately is also the hottest season. Driving to the main watering hole takes at least three hours from the entrance at the north-western edge of the park, a few kilometres south-west of the village of Waza. Waza is in the far north of Cameroon, just a few kilometres from the borders of Nigeria (west) and Chad (east). The best way to get there is to take the train from Douala or Yaoundé to N'Gaoundéré (about 18 and 12 hours, respectively) and either take a rental car or bush taxi the rest of the wa

If you live here, one of the things by kid loves is the Zoo.  He's 4 and he would go there every weekend if he could.  You can get a "Zoo Pass" that lets you into both the zoo and the aquarium / gardens.  It ends up much cheaper than paying full price every visit.\n\nThere's a small amusement park, called Cliff's, open only during spring and summer.\n\nThe "railrunner" is going to open soon, the train running from Los Lunas through Albuquerque up to Santa Fe.  That will be free for a while and relatively cheap after that.  I suspect that we will ride that for fun.\n\nAlso look into a place called "Tinkertown", it's about 30 minutes from Abuquerque.  I've never been there, but kids should enjoy it for a half day trip.\n\nWhile you're at Tinkertown you might as well finish the drive up to the top of Sandia Crest (the same destination that the Tram would take you, but from the opposite side of the mountain.)\n\nAnd add The Balloon Fiesta to my list too, that's something everybody should check out.\n\nWow...  now I'm kind of motivated myself to actually do some of these...\n\nEdit: Don't forget Explora in the Old Town area.

Lyme Regis is well known for being good for fossil hunting. Also the Isle of Wight is good.

Buffalo is not an endangered species. I hear of legal hunting partys that people go out and shoot buffalo. The only restriction would be the firearms laws where you live. There are no trips scheduled for Central Park New York City. If you are not farmilliar with the firearms rules, check with the local authorities. Buffalo is also does not require a permit to hunt or shoot. Just think cow.

I love zoos! Maybe not as much as you do...but I really, really like them.  The one in Washington DC is great, but Los Angeles has a real good one, too.

Hunting is NOT bad. Particularly deer hunting in my opinion. I grew up in an area where auto accidents caused by deer were extremely common - the deer were just EVERYWHERE. There are no more natural predetors around to cull the deer population, so hunting really helps to keep the population from getting TOTALLY out of control. Plus, there were several programs in the area that took donations of deer hunters killed, butchered them properly, and then donated the meat to homeless shelters and other causes.

I love the responses on this question, especially the one that says "leave it alone, you're not going to eat it anyway".  That's funny.  Bear meat is great.\n\nThe safest way, that I know of, to hunt bear is from a tree stand.  While there are SOME bears that can climb trees, this is still the safest way.  Ensure that the stand is over 2 meters from the ground, sit and wait.  Of course, it helps if you set up in a known bear area.

I would start scouring the primate section of all the national zoos.  It would definitely be a step up.
