The world's largest trophy hunting organization, Safari Club International, is hosting its annual convention in Las Vegas this week, where more than 20,000 big game hunters are expected to bid on the chance to kill an animal.

It's dubbed "The Ultimate Hunter's Market," and this year, the club is auctioning off 300 separate hunts taking place in 32 countries across Africa, Europe, Asia and North and South America. Bidders can sign up for the chance to kill African elephants, Australian water buffalos, and Alaskan bears.
