Jimmy Houston in these forums...


Recommended Posts

has officially ran it's course. I have locked the thread. I did not delete it. You can now go in and get about every angle on the topic you want. The deal is that it is time to move on in here. If you want to continue, go to JimmyHouston.com and post it.

Speaking personally. What he did was wrong. If what he did was illegal I would think he would be in jail, but none of us know the details. He came in to his site (in the forums) and apologized. I'm not sure what else we can ask of him. Public hangings and whatever some of you are wishing on him are things of the past. Was everything he said the truth? I don't know, you don't know and I suspect we never will. All I know is he has owned up, apologized and it's time to move on.

He's paying the price. I will say after working 8 years with Bassmaster Magazine and 10 years with Realtree, I have watched Jimmy do a lot of good for the outdoor industry and hate to see this happen. He made the decision to hunt there and the folks that follow him and have made him successful will dictate his future. Not a bunch of message board posts.

If you have a problem with my decision here you can email me directly at [email protected] with comments or concerns.

Thanks,

S

P.S. I won't edit something above because many of you have read the post, but I will correct myself here. As far as him probably being in jail if he did something illegal. That was incorrect. He became state witness and could have, or did break a law if hunting over bait.
