If you use the search drop-down on his facebook page to find "Pictures of" him there's a lot of extremely disturbing photos of him with all sorts of animals he's killed on trips- beautiful zebras, wild cats, etc. But the most disturbing one is of him posing with the corpse of an ape or monkey (I'd clarify which but it was so upsetting I'm not going to look at his page again)- it looks so human, and there's something very odd in the way he poses with his kills. I understand why people hunt and I don't take a huge moral stand against it if it's done humanely and the animals are consumed, but this is the facebook page of someone who really loves to kill things just for fun.
Not defending him at all, but adding some insights on the world of hunting. The images of his hunting successes is very common among hunters. I don't see anything unusual in the pictures. Yes, some people might find them disturbing, but hunters would not. The primate picture and pictures of zebras, wild cats, etc. look like they were taken on a hunting trip to South Africa in 2007. This was probably a once in a lifetime opportunity and most any hunter would make sure that trip is well documented in photos. If you watch any of the shows on Outdoor Channel, images such as those in the pictures are very common.
Edit to add: He wasn't even the person who posted those pictures. They were posted by his wife on her FB page and she tagged him.
