wtnhunt Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Re: world hunt competition Did not watch all the clip, on dialup here. Personally dont and would not really be interested in hunting for competition. Seems that putting that kind of pressure on myself, would probably lead to me not enjoying the experience like I do now.

buckbuster11 Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Re: world hunt competition Just read an article about this on ESPN. I do not like this AT ALL. Here is the ESPN link for those who cant see the video clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whitetailarcher Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Re: world hunt competition I agree completely. Not liking this idea at all! They should not make hunting about a competition for money because that is not what its about. I can also see that kind of competition aggravating non hunters. I'm really interested to see some of the replies that are given here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Re: world hunt competition From the founder and CEO [ QUOTE ] If you are a hunter you understand. Hunters have been waiting for this. [/ QUOTE ] What? Understand that these are high fenced hunts and using tranquilizers! Who are these "World Class" people? This is the last concept of hunting I'd ever wait for.

pointing_dogs_rule Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Re: world hunt competition I hunt because I love the outdoors and nature. I hunt because I love to eat the meat. I do not hunt for money or competition. "WHAT A JOKE" Good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vagobbln Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Re: world hunt competition That's just wrong IMO. They are bastardizing what hunting is all about. I'm assuming the only way to score points is to make a "kill". What kind of message does that send to people - non hunters and up and coming hunters alike? If they want to keep it real they should award points for seeing the coolest sunrise, watching a bobcat stalking a squirrel, hearing a turkey gobble or witnessing two bucks fighting. It's all that extra stuff that keeps me coming back and wanting to "compete". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Re: world hunt competition Ahhh...The Jimmy Houston Series Unless these animals are "Privately Owned/Game Farm Animals".... IMO...Many states would consider this activity Harrassment of Wildlife according to regulations already many years on the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrow32 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Re: world hunt competition That is just wrong. I could see this some how back firing in our faces. And hunting for money? Seems like a really bad idea. Is there anyway in heck that we could say or start somthing to stop this? My guess is no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whitetailarcher Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Re: world hunt competition What makes me the most upset is by them saying "this is what hunters have been waiting for" They are speaking for all of us when they say that. [ QUOTE ] If I was a young hunter coming up I would do everything I could to put a stop to this. [/ QUOTE ] Well I am a young hunter who really does not want to see this competition happen. Any other people willing to try and stop this? Help me out give me some ideas. I think starting by emailing the public relations people that are listed on the website is a good start. Could give them a link to this forum and emphasize that these are some of the most avid hunters who feel this way. I'm doubting that this will do much since the get many emails from anti hunters daily. Could also try contacting some of the sponsors the WHA said they had. I won't list them on this website, but they can be found under the news link on the WHA website. Maybe if they saw how many avid hunters are actually against the idea they would have second thoughts. So let me know it everyone thinks we should try and stop this "competition" and if we do, how should we go about doing it? I also encourage any people who thinks this idea is a good one to speak up. I would like to hear both sides because I know that I am very bias against this idea and may be missing some other points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveGP Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Re: world hunt competition seeing this really saddens me, they are harrassing animals that shouldnt be used for something like this. the man who founded this is a disgrace to the world of hunting,he has no idea what hunting is about if he thinks that this is what hunters have been waiting for. what hunters wait for is the new monster bucks video, not "who harrassed the poor animal today. i hope the network shuts this down or it fails horribly right away! dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Re: world hunt competition Now I do like a friendly competition and I bet most of you do too. Just look at the participation we have every year in the RT Deer Contest. I also enter a couple of local Big Buck contests that give away some significant prizes, but I don't think that really compares to the concept they're promoting here. I'm having a hard time seeing the "sport" in this. I'll stop short of saying that they shouldn't be allowed to do it, but I really don't think that hunters will find it very appealing and who else do they think will be their audience?

wtnhunt Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Re: world hunt competition Yeah Texan, think most of us probably are very competitive to a point, but this is not just friendly competition, and is most certainly not for what I consider to be the right reasons.

Guest buckhunter44 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Re: world hunt competition Hey guys I'm on the kisky forum all the time and we have been talking about this thing too. We have been e-mailing all the sponsers who are affiliated with this competition and telling them how WRONG it is!!! I will never buy anything from these places again if they sponser this stupid event. I think everyone should e-mail them and express how you all feel. Some of the companies are Cabelas Easton Carbon Express Gorilla G5 If I find more I'll re-post them. Litter their boxes with complaints. We have to STOP this!!!!!!!!!

buckee Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Re: world hunt competition Can some of you guys who visit other hunting sites, please Post links to other forums discussions on this topic ???

Guest buckhunter44 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Re: world hunt competition buckee, I've been on this forum, on bowzone, and on Kisky and everyone is strongly against this idea.

Bow Hunter Derek Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Re: world hunt competition This is absolutely the worst thing that can happen in the "hunting" world. Now there are a lot of things that go on in hunting that I flat do not agree with, but most I bite my tonge on. This one, I just can't do that with. If this actually flies it will be the death of hunting as we know it. It will either 1) suceed and further fuel the high dollar rich man's game that hunting is becoming, or 2) it will be the ultimate weapon for PETA and the anti's to use in painting an incorrect general picture of hunting. The public out cry on this will be nasty (as it should be). Now is the time to stop this thing before the mass media gets a hold of this. The moment that news of this is aired on the nightly news or a morning news show and John Q. Public hears of it, hunting as we know it will be forever comprimised and attacked in a way that we have never seen before. Right now, I wear a camo hat out in public with pride. Almost to the level that I can wear a pin of the USA flag or a cross on a chain. If this thing actually goes forward, wearing a camo hat in public WON'T be an option anymore. The only way to stop this is to go after the money that will be bank rolling this thing. The sponsors need to hear from us. Emails, mail, faxes, and phone calls. Further hit them where it hurts and don't spend your money with them. Tell them that you are going to let every hunter you know about their affiliation with the WHA. We have to stop this. We owe it to our past heritage, to everything that we hold dear to us about hunting, and to the future of hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
