RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

Well I didnt see the show and I find it hard to believe the producers actually let a show that states all of the above taking place actually air on video, TV or what have you wether hid did go on a hunt like this or not. Not enough evidence for me to sign anything like this. The person that made this petition should have spell checked also before making that a public petition lol.

And, I dont condone that type of hunting. Im shocked someonein his position actually even participated in something like that if he indeed did.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

He shot a drugged preshot deer over bait in a pend (sp) in area area and it is just a disgrace

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

Personally, I don't buy it. I've met Jimmy twice at outdoor's conventions...great guy to say the least. If he did do it, he was probably drunk (I've personally smelled booze on him after a spinnerbait seminar) or wanting to get done with the hunt to get drunk (j/k...kinda').

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

pat, there's a link to the video in this forum under the title
'following this? you should' or something like that. man, those videos will make you puke.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

Heres the link http://real-hunters.com/bellar-trial-video.cfmthen see what you think of good ole jimmy

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

Yea, he did it. The video was never on the air. It's part of the evidence against the bellar farm.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

WTF?!?!?!?!!? I'm in shock of my drunk buddy Jimmy. [>:]

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

He did, and theres a link posted in this thread where you can watch it. The evidence was strong enough that the ranch where it took place was shut down and the owner convicted.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

Jimmy a drunk .GEEhow about that

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

I dont' know about any of it and don't want to. But, is this the right place for a petition?

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

i think so buckhunter, but i'm not a mod. justin could answer that. i'm one of those that think bowhunters need to take the forefront in regulating our love - instead of letting others do it - and i think we need to show that we won't stand for this type of thing.

ialso wish a better petition was written.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

Wow, I thought I had seen everything, but always something else to shock me again, but each to his own. I'm so glad that my outfit is fair chase.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

I f some detective work was done I would say you would be supprized how much of this does go on in the hunting show's.I will sign!

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

Signed.... That ain't hunting if you ask me. That is shooting fish in a barrel. What a total disgrace! [:@]

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

I wish he wouldn't have done that---------I truely respected that guy until now. I wonder how many other hunting personalities do the same thing, and just were never revealed..............It puts all hunters in a bad light.........more ammo for the anti's.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

I might have to watch the video again. When I looked at it, I saw Jimmy in a stand with a bow in his hand. I didn't notice him taking a shot.I'm not about to sign some petition as a knee jerk reaction.

I wonder how many other TV 'sportsmen' have gotten themselves in situations like that, getting invited to come filma 30-minute infomercialin similar circumstances to advertise the 'ranch'. Surely you guys don't think Jimmy is the only one!?! Might as well expand this petition to include all hunting shows that are advertising for a specific ranch/resort.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

I'm not signing either--that's not for me to decide

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

Sure he is not the only one!! I made a comment in another post,
Before the topic was pulled for taking cheap shots at outfitters,
there are a lot of these tv shows that are not doing, so called ethical
things, that we do not know about if there was a way to do some
research!! Don't agree about advertizing about a ranch. Thisdoes not mean there is funny stuff going on there Come on!!

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

Signed.....only wished I could have signed it in blood.
And regarding all this "He didnt know about it BS" it is as simple as this....
As a true ambassador of the hunting and fishing worlds, if he was a true outdoorsman, he would have climbed out of the stand, cursing and screaming all the way, and got in his car, left, and aired a show about the hunt and how he feels that it is a crying shame and an insult to bowhunting....
I didnt see that episode, did you?[:@]

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

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

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

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.

nubo

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

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

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

I think Jimmy should stick to fishing.:D

EDIT - Let's refrain from namecalling please.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

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?

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

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.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

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.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

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.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

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

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

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.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

Im appalled. There is a law being broken here. You cannot hunt over bait here in Indiana. Thats the law. I dont think outfitters can do it either. They are not above the law.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

Because they were subpoenaed by law. It's not like they were leading the charge to bring Bellar down. The fact that he was in a position where he had to testify is disturbing.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

He is a loooooooooooooooossssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I hope I never hear of this guy again exept to hear his jail sentance

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

ok so everyone know i am the guy that started the petition, i have recieved a few e-mails from people telling me about some spelling mistakes in the main body of the petition. i hit the wrong button while previewing the petition and could not go back and fix the mistakes, i am working on trying to get back into the main body and fix the mistakes, i do not know if i can or not,but do not let that stop you from signing it, the wording and spelling will not matter to the people it will be sent to. what will matter is the words you are all putting in and the names on it.

If anyone wants to talk to me about this please feel free to contact me at [email protected]


i have sent some e-mails to some of his sponsors and as of now i have heard back from 3 of them.

i got one from mothwing camo this morning asking me for my phone # so Jimmy can call me himself and explain every thing that happened to me. so i sent them my phone #

i have yet to hear back from anyone at mothwing or Jimmy


thanks Jim

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

I've fished behind Jimmy in some BASS touraments.... of course stayed behind 50 yds like the rules say. Each time I caught a fish behind him, I would hold the fish up and yell "Hey Jimmy, you missed one!" Then I would laugh real loud like he does, then I would kiss it in the mouth before putting it into my live well... :D:D

I can't stand that little runt... Of course this was before I was a preacher..:D:D:D:D

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

I've always been against this type of "HUNTING"?? and will always be. Except now we can't say we're against anything like that on this site.[&:] Nor can we call Lil Jimmy big names. Again, it's a no no. Ya'lls violating rules again.[&:];)

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

there seems to be a problem with the site the petition is hosted on. not sure what the problem is i am waiting to hear back from the site you can keep trying to sign if the problem is not fixed by time i get home tonight i will start another one on a different site with all the errors that are found in this one fixed. anyone can e-mail me with any ?'s @ [email protected]

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

I doubt, no I know for certain, that you did not smell alcohal on Jimmy's breath. He does not drink at all. You are slandering the man with this one for sure.

RE: JIMMY HOUSTON PETITION
 

I can not believe anybody sticking up for Jmmy after seeing that video. What was he doing in the tree with his bow with a nocked arrow? Posing for a picture? If he did not shoot it, well then he really sucks. The guy could not get a shot at a deer in a 3 acre pin? I have signed and will start my own. I have contacted the DNR here in MI. WE SHOULD PUT A STOP TO ALL FENCED IN CANNED HUNTS!!!!!!! WE AS HUNTERS SHOULD BE THE ONES TO STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are we conservationalist or not?
