In the past two decades, Dominguez would emerge from semi-retirement every four years or so, usually to turn a company around. One of his most recent projects was in 2006, when he was appointed to try to rehabilitate the Rapu-Rapu gold, copper and silver mine after its operator had poisoned the local environment through cyanide spills.
Back in retirement, he would take out his gun.
In the autumn of 2015, Dominguez spent 10 hours a day on a hill in Idaho, waiting for the chance to take a 325-yard shot to bag a male white-tailed stag to add to his collection in the Eagles Bar of his hotel in Davao. For five days he ignored the other deer that came well within his range.
“I really wanted to take as far a shot as I could,” Dominguez said. “Hunting is patience.”
