* [[Characters/MarvelComicsKravenTheHunter Kraven the Hunter]], a.k.a. Sergei Kravenoff, is basically made of this and HuntingTheMostDangerousGame. Born in 1917, he started out as a hunter in Kenya, but later enhanced himself with mystic rituals and herbs (supplied by his lover Calypso, a Haitian vodoun priestess) so that he could hunt and kill his prey barehanded. He moved on to hunting humans (including working for ComicBook/NickFury in the 1950s as a NaziHunter), before eventually deciding that only super-humans presented a sufficient challenge.

* In some areas, this was truth in television to a certain degree, as some native cultures simply avoided large predators and the idea of actually hunting down and killing them for the sake of a pretty rug was alien to them. In others, white men did generally survive tangles with large predators better than the natives, because the white guys had ''guns'', which natives were often not permitted in colonial times and in most cases they simply couldn't afford.
* In the modern day, this trope (arguably) exists because most of those that go on safari pay enormous fees [[http://www.conservationmagazine.org/2014/01/can-trophy-hunting-reconciled-conservation/ that are used to help fund conservation efforts in the area as well as creating an incentive for people to coexist with these species]].
* Subverted (and somewhat superseded) by Great White Photographers, who may travel anywhere in the world and pay atrocious fees to even get a chance of ''photographing'' wildlife in their natural habitats. Photography is colloquially called "shooting"... so, you do the math.
* Col. John Henry Patterson was a noted hunter of man-eaters, and it was he who hunted down the Tsavo man-eaters, a pair of Tsavo lions which killed and ate between 35 and 135 Indian labourers building the Tsavo railway bridge. The lions of the area had always been especially vicious, and it is believed that the lions acquired their taste for humans from the slaves and travelers who perished in the dangerous river crossing. The vast numbers of defenceless labourers, sitting alone in canvas tents, provided them with a static and weak food source (though a later analysis of the killings indicated that the lions only went after humans during the dry seasons, when their normal prey of wildebeest and zebra were scarce). Patterson eventually had to shoot them nearly 15 times in order to kill them.
* Jim Corbett was a hunter, conservationist, and naturalist who hunted and killed tigers and leopards that had turned man-killers. Between 1907 and 1938, Corbett tracked and killed at least a dozen man-eaters. It is estimated that the combined total of men, women, and children these twelve animals had killed was in excess of 1,500. His very first success, the Champawat Tiger in Champawat, alone was responsible for 436 documented deaths. He also shot the Panar Leopard, which allegedly killed 400 after being injured by a poacher and thus being rendered unable to hunt its normal prey. Other notable man-eaters he killed were the Talla-Des man-eater, the Mohan man-eater, the Thak man-eater, and the Chowgarh tigress. However, one of the most famous was the man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag, which terrorized the pilgrims to the holy Hindu shrines Kedarnath and Badrinath for more than ten years. Later in his life, Corbett became a conservationist and had an important role of establishing India's first national park (now named after him) which is a protected area for the endangered Bengal tiger. A TV movie starring Jason Flemyng was made in 2005.

* In the ''ComicBook/MarvelMysteryComics'' Ka-Zar stories, he ran across a hunter named Steve Hardy who spent months capturing animals to bring to zoos or collections (but had no qualms about killing them if he had to). Ka-Zar judged him a good man and did not allow the animals to harm him, but he still foiled his attempts to take animals.

->''"Peter, if you want me to run your little camping trip, there are two conditions: firstly, I'm in charge, and when I'm not around, Dieter is. All you need to do is sign the checks, tell us we're doing a good job and open your case of scotch when we have a good day. Second condition, my fee. You can keep it. All I want in exchange for my services is the right to hunt one of the [[KingOfTheDinosaurs Tyrannosaurs]]. A male, a buck, only. How and why are my business. Now if you don't like either of those two conditions, you're on your own. So go ahead, set up basecamp right here, or in a swamp or in the middle of a Rex nest for all I care. But I've been on too many safaris with rich dentists, to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Okay?"''

* Characters/MarvelComicsKravenTheHunter, a.k.a. Sergei Kravenoff, is basically made of this and HuntingTheMostDangerousGame. Born in 1917, he started out as a hunter in Kenya, but later enhanced himself with mystic rituals and herbs (supplied by his lover Calypso, a Haitian vodoun priestess) so that he could hunt and kill his prey barehanded. He moved on to hunting humans (including working for ComicBook/NickFury in the 1950s as a NaziHunter), before eventually deciding that only super-humans presented a sufficient challenge. Even then, he seems to return to his animal-centered roots, as some of his targets have included ComicBook/SpiderMan, [[ComicBook/XMen Sabertooth]] and the ComicBook/BlackPanther.
