Baboon Hunting

While most often thought of as a "target of opportunity", many African professional hunters / outfitters offer baboon hunts or safaris, usually as an add-on species to your plains game hunt. Some hunters who have been to Africa many times, prefer hunting baboons over plains game OR dangerous game... tough to believe, I know.

Baboons are hated by the villagers in many parts of Africa. They spread disease, destroy entire crops and can be very aggressive/dangerous, especially to young children.
