Default RE: Professional Hunting "Tour" !?!?!?!

Am I missing something here? How can these animals be "legendary" as the video claims when they are born and bred in a high fenced area and only people who can afford the price tag have ever seen them? And I have seen what my bow at 43 pounds can do with a practice tip ... what stops the arrow in a 75 pound or greater pull? I mean, what literally stops that arrow and keeps it from breaking a rib or other bone or hitting a lung or the heart? Can you only shoot the deer in the rump or what? And where did the huge house, fast car, and all the women come from? Plus, I am finding it a little demeaning to women because it insinuates that these women are after this man because he won all this money from shooting a tranq into a deer .... if that is so where are all the groupies for Ralph Ciancurilo(sp?), Michael Waddell, Jim Shockey, Bill Jordan, T-Bone, etc? Do they not make enough money to rate groupies or is it because they don't tranq the animal? (Or did I miss that too?) And in the video Farberman just reminded me too much of a politician to be taken seriously.

I apologize if my sarcasm and serious disgust is showing through but I am having trouble taking this insanity seriously -- and I am sure that this attitude is the same throughout the hunting community. But then there is the fear that somewhere people are taking it seriously and that there are people who will support this crap. And that if we don't take it seriously it will come back to haunt us.

I was happy to see that his "sponors" have, for the most part, denied (or pulled out at the last minute) and hope and pray that they continue to do so -- whether guided by the fact that it is the right thing to do or the fact that they will be losing major money from the real hunters out there and look forward to the day when the site is taken down and the idea is just another urban legend.
