I guess the way I see it is this isn't hunting, I think we all agee on that issue.

But if your going to "sink JH's boat" I think your aiming too low. I believe some of you would be shocked toknow how many of the videos you have watched were staged. There are so many big names out there that are guilty of this it isnt even funny; especially in the early years of making outdoor videos.

Even educational documentary's have not gone unscathed. Currently the name escapes me of a nationally know outdoorsman that made numerous documentaries for the likes of National Geographic, Nature, etc.. He was exposed for using drugged animals in his shows. Shoot, even Marlin Perkins (Wild Kingdom) was almost taken out by a drugged python one time. A lot of you guys are to young to remember that show but it use to be a weekly network TV show.

Of course the two mentioned above were not hunting shows, but when you dig all of the mud out and come to the bottom of the well, you will find the same motivating factor that isa common thread in each of thesecases - money.

I am no fan of Mr. Houstonbut all of this "smack talk" concerning his transgressionI find interesting. If your going to throw Jimmy Houston under the bus for committinga forgery with such enthusiasm, you better include a few more names on your petition, some that I have seen praised on this very forum.
