Pretty disgusting. That is NOT hunting. When I go to the zoo, I leave my hunting gear home.

I'm very disappointed with this guy and how he represent's our great sport .He's just giving peta more fuel to add to there fire.

CAMPO is 100% right....i will be signing this when i get home tonight!

I think Jimmy should stick to fishing.

EDIT - Let's refrain from namecalling please.

LOL. Stick to fishing? I agree with you, since he's disgraced the sport of bowhunting, it's a good idea- but i'll predict how that would turn out (judging from past character trials):

He would get bored with fishing, so he'd try his hand at bowfishing. (we've seen how good he is with a bow- in a cage!) When he realized it was more difficult than he first thought to bag a trophy fish, he would find a "fish farm"where they put huge fish in a 5-gallon bucket. He would then proceed to "stalk" these fish and bust one with his bow- just as the camera caught all the action. Then the rest of us could watch his difficult hunt on t.v. and admire his hard work and perserverance.

What a load of crap. How do some people sleep at night?

Is any action being taken against him or could there be? Don't know the specifics. Did he break any laws or was he just guilty of being an unethical hunter. He should be made to pay in some way, even if it simply means not having a career in hunting or fishing again.

Babe Winkelman had to settle on a plea agreement and write a column on hunting ethics for allegedly radioing to his wife he would drive deer toward her. Minnesota doesn't allow radio communications in taking deer. That makes Babe look like a saint compared to Jimmy.

It is a shame that stuff happens all the time. Why would Jimmy be in there with a bow in hand if he was not going to pull the triger. I have no problem with any type of hunting. I do not hunt like that myself. But if I did and I had a TV show I would let my viewers know what was really going on. That is the part that is so shady for a pro to do that to fans.

signed and disgusted.

here's a list of his sponsors if you want to write them too.

His current sponsors include Chevrolet, Mercury Marine, Ranger Boats, Minn Kota trolling motors, fishfinder brand Humminbird Electronics, Japanese tackle company Shimano, Inc., Terminator Lures, TTI Companies, camouflage pattern company Mothwing Camo Technologies, Inc. and the Excalibur lure brand of Pradco Fishing.

well im sick this is down right crap im thinking of sighning it but if you think about it i think i will fall down around him on its own i hope i liked jimmy but know got no respect for him at all but it makes you wonder how many more do the same thing thats what is scary to me

This is from an article on the Federal Wildlife Officers Assn website.

I'm not defending Jimmy Houston at all, because he did something completely stupid. (Frankly, I thought he was screwing up bigtime when hestarted branching out into hunting anyway!)But he's not the only celebrity that participated in this farce. Sign the petition if you want, but you also need to burn your Brooks and Dunn tapes and get Joey Mines fired from Fox if you do. Remember though, it was their testimony that helped put this Bellar outfit out of business and called a lot of negative attention to these so-called deer farms.
