Ct-
thanks for the message..

I dont have a problem with harvesting and killing a white-tail. Hell, that is what I do!

I am glad to see the WHA is fatal now...

BTW- I heard from a relative in Dallas that the WHA was at the Texas Trophy hunters Xtravagenza and he said he spoke with the guys at the WHA.

He went on to say they had one of the most popular booths and that they (the WHA) really came prepared. He said they answered all his questions and He is now re-considering his opinion on the WHA...

Hell- I trust him more than some interent poster..

so proffesional Bass fishermen have sold out? Have pro soccer players have sold out? jeez- world soccer is considered sacred to their countrymen

World soccer and Hunting are not even close in comparison. Hunting is not a sport at all. It is a way of life. Foreign to many non-hunters.

Your credence on this issue, there Zumbo, is detrimentally affected by that view. Try going hunting sometime.

I think that it is absurd to compete in a hunting competition for money. It going to ruin the sport, just like baseball, football, soccer, hockey.The majority of professional athletes compete for the money. Washington Hunter anbd CTHunter are right on. Every true hunter out there hunts out of there heart, enjoying the creations of GOD and this beautiful country. Every animal is taken out of respect and if there is a person out there that doesn't, I'd like to have a word with him because those are the people that put a bad name for hunters.


I respect each and every animal I kill, and I feel that the WHA and those participating in the hunts are degradingour sportby parading it around like its just another reality TV show.
Right on. We need to keep our this tradition the way it was 50 years ago and not turn it into some ***** reality tv show on mtv with drama queens prancing around, complaining about every little thing that happens that effects them. It can't happen. It will ruin ourway of lifefor good. The whole money factor is a kick in the arse for the hunting world.

Your exactly right. People just don't understand it. They think it's just a hobby, or something we do a few days out of the year. WRONGO. Only other hunters can understand.

Anyone who represents, participates, or sponsors the WHA is selling out hunting for one simple reason................money. No matter if they tranqualize deer or kill deer. Has Farbman's WHA proclaimed themselves a non-profit organization? No I didn't think so. The WHA would like us to think they are our self appointed savior. I don't want or need them to represent me!

What will (1) Farbman gain, what will any (2) particpants gain, and what would any (3) sponsors gain?

(1) More money, its simply another enterprize for Farbman.
(2) Prize money
(3) More exposure for their products

But what will all hunters gain? Nothing!!!!!

What will all hunters lose?
Respect from those who do not hunt but are not categorized as anti's. We do not need to lose any support from non-hunters. Simply put, non-hunters are people who choose not to hunt for various reasons, but are not against others hunting. I know lots of people who do not wish to hunt, but support the idea and tradition of hunting. This very idea of a "professional sports league"(and I use that term very loosely) can and will very easily turn those who would support us, but do not hunt against us.

Our sport is a lot different than other sports.

We kill animals. We kill living, breathing, resproducing creatures. We take the lives of living things.

In baseball theplayersget paid to play well, not to kill well.

In football theplayersget paid to play well, not take the lives of animals.

In soccer the playersget paid to play well, not to kill an animal worth mounting on the wall.

If you can't see just how different our sport is from all the others out there, maybe you need to reconsider what it is thatyou're doing in the woods each fall.

I respect each and every animal I kill, and I feel that the WHA and those participating in the hunts are degradingour sportby parading it around like its just another reality TV show.
Washington Hunter, you are one 18-year-old who I'd be honored to share my deer camp with any time you please...

If anything the WHA will increase AWARENESS and Youth Participation... who cares about big business philosophies

I am glad the WHA switched from darting... they have done the right thing, in my opinion

I do because i do not want them ruining hunting, much likeit has everything else. The WHA may increase AWARNESS, but not in a postive light. To anyone on the fence about the hunting issue, the WHA is going to make us seem like money hungry killers...That in no way, shape, or form can be a good thing.
