NEW61375, you're right about one thing...he sounds like a "stubborn, profit-minded businessman." He is out to capitalize on hunting at the expense of hunting.

I disagree with his idea. To me, this is a situation that calls for anything but negotiation with those of his ilk. To me this is a time for stern words spoken in clear and certain voices.

Yea, money talks...so does bad public relations and if he gets enough negative voices speaking in concert he'll be forced to abandon this stupidity because it will be a clear loser, not a profit-maker. Voices that seek to patronize him and find middle ground can only encourage him to go forward.

"Can anything good come of this"
"...its more a matter of being realistic..."
"...this thing will probably get off the ground..."


You say these things and then you go on to suggest we provide "contructive criticism" or seek to find something "at the least a little more accpetance from the hunting community." You also say that you don't see this being all that different from current hunting show???

Again, with all due respect, I heard you loud and clear the first time. I'm taking what you suggest in context and stating that there is no room to negotiate; its a time to stand up and speak in clear and certain terms. He should hear voices in concert condemning such a stupid idea. Those that would participate in this "game" should also be made aware of the disdain with which they will be held for partaking in this scheme.


The man actually suggested darting whitetails as part of a "hunting" game....and we should see what we can do to mitigate such ideas with him?

I think your heart is good, but people that would come up with such an idea don't deserve your goodness, they deserve a verbal boot where the sun does not normally shine.
