This is looking grim. You can bet that the folks betting for this are either non hunters or possibly anti's who feel that tranq darts are better than bullets.

RE: ESPN World Hunting Tour Poll......VOTE!!!!
I'll tell you exactly what happened........word got out that you can clear your cookies each time and vote as many times as you want.
You could watch it falling last night in leaps and bounds. There were like 200 votes in hours of the poll being up and then in a matter of a couple more it was up to 1500 with the majority of them being "For" the tour.
Does anyone here think that over 1000 people in favor of a Pro Darting tour happened to be up and voting on that poll at 2AM EST??
It was a supporter or group of supporters stuffing the ballot box for hours plain and simple.
I really sincerely hope that the actual "Hunters" in this thing realize that they are going to be the absolute laughing stock of the hunting world if this thing actually happens. They will actually be laughed at and ridiculed daily. [&o]
Update:
I just read a reply from a guy who understands this stuff on another site and he said that there appears that thereis some sort of "Script" placed on the poll that registers multiple "For" votes for every "No" vote.......in other word if you vote one time "No" it enterssomething like20 "For" votes.
In any event the thing has been rigged somehow and that's a fact. It somehow managed to go from the exact results that every other poll displayed.....about 82-85% "against" / 15-18% "For" to the opposite in avery short time frameand with a large number of overall votes.
I suggest emailing ESPN with your concerns of the poll as well as the overall impact that the tour will have on hunting.

I checked out the web site and voted against this tour.
I'm disappointed to see that 55% in favor of this unsportsman like conduct.
The thrill of the hunt will never be the same if this tour goes on.
Is it possible that the true AMERICAN HUNTER could be a dying breed.
