BEING NEW TO THE SITE I HAD NOT HAD A LOT OF TIME TO LOOK AT ALL OF THE THREADS AND INFO ON THE W.H.A. BUT OVER THE WEEKEND I HAD A CHANCE TO CATCH UP. AND "UPON FURTHER REVIEW" IT JUST SOUNDS WEIRD, WHATS WITH ALL THE WORD PLAY FROM THE W.H.A. THEY SOUND IF THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE HUNTING POLITICALLY CORRECT (NON-LETHAL, HUMANE DARTING). ITS LIKE THEIR SAYING SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH REAL HUNTING. WITH ALL OF THE HUNTING SHOWS AND FORMATS THAT ARE OUT, THAT ARE VIEWED AND CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE, WHY WOULD THEY TAKE SUCH A DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT APPROACH? IF THEY WOULD HAVE COME OUT WITH A FORMAT LIKE HEY WE HAVE TEAM REALTREE,TEAM KNGHT AND HALE, TEAM MOSSY OAK, (JUST EXAMPLES)AND THESE TEAMS ARE GOING TO COMPETE IN THE 06-07 SEASON ALL OVER THE COUNTRY TO SEE WHICH TEAM CAN TAKE THE TOPSCORING WHITETAILSAND HAVE THEM COMPETENOT FOR MONEY BUT FOR BRAGGING RIGHTSOR THERE NAME ON A GOLD RACK TROPHY AS THE CHAMPIONS FOR THAT SEASON. EVEN SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD TAKE HEAT FOR PROMOTING HUNTING FOR JUST BIG BUCKS BUT THAT IS ALREADY A PROBLEM IN THE HUNTING INDUSTRY. SOMETHING LIKE THAT COULD STILL PROVIDE ADVERTISING AND MARKETING FOR THE HUNTING INDUSTRYAND POSSIBLY BE ENTERTAINING TO WATCH. AND AT LEAST IT IS IN LINE WITH SOME OF THE OTHER SHOWS AND HUNTING DVD/SHOWFORMATS THAT ARE OUT. THE DETAILS OF THE DARTING AND THE VETERINARIAN AND THESE FENCED FARMS AREDISTURBING AND YOU CAN SEE HOW THE MAJORITY OF THE HUNTING COMMUNITY IS RESPONDING. IT MAKES ME WONDER"WHO WORKS OVER THERE?" DIDN'T THEY ANTICIPATE PEOPLE BEING OFFENDED BY THIS. ANYWAY THANK FOR THE POST POINTING ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR THE INFO. ON THE W.H.A.
