he did not use the video for any show as far as i know but he did post the pictures on his web site saying it was a fair chase hunt and before he took the picture off his web site yesterday you could see it was in a open field.not the pen where it was shot,
You lost me here.[&:]There is no video of him actually shooting a deer in this pen. Apparently he never used any footage from this place for any hunting videos , yet you started a petition to ban any and all of his hunting videos from being televised. So in essence , your trying to ban his livelyhood because he made some poor decisions , and you feel he gives hunters a bad name.
Is that correct?
If it is , in all fairness , you should include a list of many others who "represent" us hunters by way of hunting videos , and even their own hunting shows.
You said he had pictures of a deer shot ,"in a field" ,on his web site. Was it the same buck from the video?
First your wrong there is video of him shooting the buck in a pen and he has even admitted to that. he claims the pen was 160 acre pen and not a 3 acre pen.He claims the video we have all seen was tampered with tho, even if that is the case he was still wrong to climb into that stand and watched thatbuck run into a fence before he shot it all with a smile on his face..I am trying to ban his livelyhood because he lied to everyone. yes the picture of the buck he shot at the bellar farm where posted on his web site until yesterday,where he told all his fans that it was a fair chase hunt. the reason it upsets me the most is he is a representative of all of us hunters. we have enough trouble with law makers and alot of anti hunting groups as it is and if we do not stand up for ourselves then we will just be included with the small group of so called hunter like him. yes there are other guys that have shows that i am sure have done things like this and maybe worse but until i see them on video doing it or there is some kind of proof we can do nothing but sit back and hope we never hear or see it.I am not here to tell anyone to sign the petition i am just asking them to look at the evidence and make the choice they feel is right.I could care less if i was the only one to sign it i still would have started it just so i knew i was doing some thing i belived in and tried my best to make a difference.
