World Hunting Association?
 

My name is Matt & I'm a producer at the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

We are currently working on a story aboutthe World Hunting Association and their method of nonlethal hunting (tranquilziers, et al).

We're trying to find hunters in the Detroit area who are opposed to this practice. We will be in the areaon 7/25 and would like to interview some hunters then.

Please e-mail me if you're in the Detroit area (or can be there on the 25th) and are seriously opposed to this form of hunting.

Thanks!

I'm sorry, the Daily Show with John Stewart? And you want to interview hunters who are seriously against the WHA? Im sorry but I just can't see the Daily Show portraying hunting in the form that all of us on this board see it. Call me crazy but I don't want hunting/hunters to be the butt end of some jokes on comedy central.

RE: World Hunting Association?
 

I second that.

I third that Buck Magnet but unfortunately they will get some bubba guy and portray him poorly which would be a black eye for us all. Nothing good could come of a comedy show during a serious piece such as this.

I suggest anybody interested to find out whether Jonn Stewart is a hunter or outdoorsman 1st. If he is a prohunter then he will do it right; if he is an anti hunter peta loser than stay out of it. HCH How about it Matt; what is his stand on hunting?

RE: World Hunting Association?
 

Jon Stewart is a bleeding heart liberal.

See what happens when we all look like jackasses arguing up a storm against other hunters....

This all goes back to the image of the hunter, and its pretty funny.

Im sure they will show the ones that show up with beer on their breath wearing nascar hats yelling and screaming (although I dont think that would be far from the truth the way people have been acting on this forum)

Good job everybody. Way to go

Thx WHA and Farbman, but you can tell him that from me the next time you talk to him.

My immediate reaction to this thread is the same as many others. However, if we don't have to have a "bad" representative of the hunting community speak on our behalf - on a nationally watched show - why doesn't someone offer to do the interview? It seems that in this case running to hide from the problem is only going to make it worse.

If I were in the Detroit area I would be more than happy to do it. But alas, I am not.

Tell Johnboy to send someone to Chicago and we'll talk. :D

Justin, you are right, but the sad part is this. Just like every other politically motivated tv show out there, they are going to edit out anything that doesn't agree w/ his point of view. And if they do, they will make fun of it so that it appears we are wrong. IMO, he can take a flying leap!

I see he left his email address. I for one, will be using to find out what his point of view on this topic is. I suggest everyone here do the same, and in fact, if he is opposed to hunting, I will boycott his show, as I suggest everyone else here do as well.

RE: World Hunting Association?
 

His show is boring anyways, I cant stand it.

RE: World Hunting Association?
 

I think they should have a couple of pro hunters on the show. Hunters that are used to being in front of the camera. The ave Joe, including me would be very nervous being on national TV and would probably not do as well stating what will probably be the opposing view.
Maybe The Drury brothers, Ralph and Vickie,Cuz,Toxey,Will Primos would be good choices?
We could always sik Uncle Ted on them?:D

It would be hard for us ave guys to not come off as an ass if the intent of a professional interviewer is to make us look that way. A good interviewer can manipulate and spin the interview the direction they want it to go. That is their job and some are very good at it.

RE: World Hunting Association?
 

This is asking for it.... Jon Stewart is going to have a field day with anyone, and any self respecting hunter used to being infront of the camera will know it. Sorry MattTDS, but unless there is some kind of written contract garanteeing no editing of said interviewee's statements, it wont happen.

Of course there will always be some dumb bubba out there... like the woman in the moo-moo and hair curlers on tv after a tornado.... and that is likely who they're looking for.

RE: World Hunting Association?
 

Uncle ted would eat him alive lol.

RE: World Hunting Association?
 

I'm with Justin on this one. I'd go in a heartbeat if they were in the Burgh.

Seriously, it's Jon Stewart, not the Big Bad Wolf. Just because he's a liberal doesn't mean he's going to be abusive or a jerk. There are plenty of liberals who post here and are genuinely decent individuals.

Tell The Daily Show reps to send me airfare + hotel + per diem, and I'll go.


EDIT: Nevermind that. I only have a few vacation days left, and those are reserved for the rut.
