If he paid $60k for a legal hunt, how is he supposed to know if it is illegal?

Big cats are always "lured" in. Thats the way you hunt them.

Which is why the guides are being prosecuted

True but if he, the hunter, was aware of the illegallity as well (we don't know)

It was illegal to shoot the animal whether or not it was on the refuge.
