Hmmm? Do you really believe that the number of legal, ethical hunters are the minority of all hunters? I believe the opposite to be true. I think the data from the number of hunting licenses and tags issued in the USA annually compared to the number of game violations is a pretty good indicator...

In looking back, that's not exactly what you said was it? What you actually did was make a backhanded innuendo slighting "some" high fenced hunting outfitters and then cherry-picked 3 videos supposedly depicting what you consider to be canned, unethical hunts taking place on high fenced...

I think they are choosing denial. Think about what is the easiest. To follow the narratives of a party that offers you victimhood status and hand-outs, or the teachings of a small handful of individuals who challenge you to believe that we as individuals must take responsibility for ourselves...

You shot off your mouth making a broad, inaccurate, and offensive generalization about how high fenced hunting operations in Africa offer no contributions to conservation or habitat preservation efforts. In the form of several rhetorical questions to better highlight your ignorance, I listed a...

Firstly, if we are being honest with ourselves, this fight was lost because the anti's threw far more money and propaganda into the battle. Cecil and the false narratives created from that social media debacle fated the lion importation issue. Lots of blame and regret to go around for everyone...

I will concede that you are actually correct on 2 accounts: 1) You actually do get to judge. 2) I do choose not to care about your judgment on me, or anyone else hunting within the limits of the law. I really don't think there is anyone on here that has a more profound understanding of the...

I admire your willingness to attempt to educate these idiots. I quit trying long ago.

@russ_c , Did Delta cancel your flight altogether, or cancel the route and reroute you through Europe?

I have aggressively disputed many of your assertions, but I have yet to reply in a condescending or disrespectful manner. However, if you want to go down that road I am happy to oblige. Perhaps my "very long" answers exceed your intellectual capability to comprehend my arguments? I never said...

Exactly! If you go by the left's perverted version of selective history, slavery didn't exist in the world until came to North America in the late 1500's when it was invented by Caucasian European settlers. You also never hear them mention that slavery and genocide had long existed in the...

Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it's not completely plausible to condition a leopard, or any wild animal for that matter, to lose their fear of human presence through baiting or supplemental feeding. I've seen plenty of videos where the cat is already in the tree at 3pm before the...

With all respect to your opinion, you see a difference because you are viewing this through your own personal perspective rather than an objective one. You are making the argument that an animal which has been conditioned over time to come to any kind of bait or water that has been placed by a...

I believe the hunter in the first video was using a handgun... Not a rifle. Regardless, as I said, it's not a hunt I would do, but I feel it would be hypocritical to admonish or disparage anyone who chose to do it.. Wow.. You must explain this one to me.. Does it matter how big the baited...

So your definition of "put & take" is based on the demographics of the species rather than their ability to have reasonable means of escape and be pursued under fair chase conditions? Interesting... :unsure:

I never said it was my idea of dangerous game hunting either, but I would be a complete and total hypocrite to denounce another hunter's legal preference of what he/she finds rewarding... And, I think we still are on the same sheet of music as long as you are wiling to acknowledge and denounce...
