This is why it was a stupid decision to pull the trigger on that lion.
I was listening to an African hunter comment last night.
Pro-hunting all the way.

Then he said, on a male lion, even in low light you can see a tracking collar because of the way it interrupts the mane.
Then he said, you don't shoot any animals wearing tracking collars.
Our dentist here has shown what happens when you do.

It's been reported that the alleged poachers allegedly tried to destroy the tracking collar.
