baboon trophy. I have shot a couple myself but there is never an excuse for shooting a female baboon or babies. A female baboon is easy to tell from a male and the little ones are even more so. The man used extremely poor judgement and as much as I hate to say this, I agree with the commission and he should resign before it turns into another Cecil the lion mess. And before anyone thinks I am against hunting, let's not go there. I have taken almost 100 African animals and all were older males. Some females make great trophys like the Gemsbok, whose horns can sometimes be longer than a male's horns. But still I find the idea of shooting a female animal totally against what I believe in. So, in short, the man should resign before this mess erupts in the face of all Idaho sportsmen.
