Texan_Til_I_Die Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Re: world hunt competition In the interest of preventing a total hijacking, I've created a new thread in the Fishing Forum to debate the merits, or lack thereof, of tournament and competative fishing.

buckee Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Re: world hunt competition [ QUOTE ] Has anyone noticed that on the world hunt website, there are no more sponsors listed? [/ QUOTE ] I just checked and they are still listed [ QUOTE ] In addition to its investors, the WHA has secured prestigious hunting industry inaugural sponsors including G5 Outdoors, Xtreme Scents, Pneu-Dart, and others. Additional sponsors will be unveiled in the coming months from the hunting industry and mainstream mass-market advertisers. [/ QUOTE ] Maybe they are too busy with answering emails and talking to their lawers right now to update their site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtBowhunter Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Re: world hunt competition There is a pretty big difference between this joke and tournament fishin'. In fishing, the fish is hooked through the lip (Where they have do feeling) and reeled in alert and awake. then thrown back or put into an aerated tank. With this WHA thing, they are talking about darting deer, and the drug could kill the deer, or cause some very serious health issues for the critters.

[/ QUOTE ] Its also true that in a fishing tournament professionals are fishing in large lakes where fish are free to swim without fences, this is not true for this competition.

buckee Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: world hunt competition We can't give up on this guys, until it is gone completely. Our favourite pastime, hunting, is depending on us. This new show, will turn the world of hunting as we know it today, on its ears, if allowed to continue. Has anyone heard back from the two guys that are making this thing happen? I haven't heard anything yet. They are ignoring us, and hoping we will just fade into the dust.

buckee Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Re: world hunt competition U.S Sportsmen's Alliance, Boone and Crocket, and Pope and Young speak against Word Hunting Association Another quick update on the World Hunting Association saga. The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance has just released a statement blasting the World Hunting Association. USSA Statement on New Tournament Hunting Organization A new tournament hunting organization has been announced, the World Hunting Organization. It will outfit tournament participants with tranquilizing drugs and darting equipment. The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance has concerns about: The potential for misuse of dangerous drugs by lay people, The potential for their misuse in the case of unrecovered animals, Their impact on non-target species who might feed on carcasses, The scattering in the field of syringes that could be found by children, A competition that treats wildlife solely as a commercial commodity. There appear to be a number of legal issues to be overcome (IE. the distribution to participants of drugs tightly controlled by the Food and Drug Administration). The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance will have no part of the organization. Pope and Young speaks against Word Hunting Association The blows against the World Hunting Association keep coming from all directions. I wouldn't be surprised if David S. Farbman, CEO and founder of the W.H.A. is soon to realize that his great money making dream is not welcome by the hunters and the hunting organizations and turns into a nightmare for him. After thousands of hunters have flooded the W.H.A. and their sponsors with outraged letters and emails over the plans to turn hunting in a competiton sport by shooting at penned animals with tranquilizer guns all but one sponsor pulled their support of the W.H.A. But that was only the beginning, the infantry if you will. Then the artillery pulled up. Beginning with the Safari Club Internationl (SCI) who on June 14, 2006 released a press statement, saying that the do not aprove of the moral and ethics of the W.H.A. and their plans to turn hunting into a NASCAR like spectator sport for prize money. ..................................................................... Now, only two days later, the reputable Pope and Young Club had this to say against the W.H.A. Pope and Young Nixes Proposed "Hunt" Tournament A recent announcement by the World Hunting Association has raised significant concerns within the Pope and Young Club. According to WHA publicity releases, a televised tournament series featuring “professional hunters” is slated for broadcast this coming fall. Competitors reportedly will seek to tranquilize deer within high-fence game farm properties. Lucrative prizes are to be awarded to individuals collecting the biggest or most captive deer during televised “hunts.” Both bows and firearms will be used to deliver the tranquilizing agents. “Hunting is not a ‘catch and release’ proposition,” said P&Y President M. R. James. “Nor is it intended to be an entertaining public spectacle. The Pope and Young Club certainly does not want its organization identified with this type of commercial endeavor, either directly or indirectly. That includes any reference to P&Y-class animals or the use of our measuring system to determine the score of captive deer. This idea flies in the face of the ethical, Fair Chase bowhunting challenges our organization embraces.” Noting that the Pope and Young Club does not accept any captive animals as record book entries, Executive Secretary Kevin Hisey added: “The idea that this concept is just plain wrong goes well beyond the issue of game farms and high fences. Many responsible hunters will view it as an affront to the values, principles, and integrity of hunting so many hold dear.” ........................................................................................ The Boone and Crockett Club The Boone and Crockett Club does not support the WHA in what they are doing as it violates our basic positions on fair chase and ethical hunting. Thank you for your thoughtful inquiry. Regards, George A press statement is soon to be expected from the Boone and Crockett Club in this regard. Daily more and more Outdoor and Hunting Clubs and Association but also hunting publication speak out against the World Hunting Association and I think that is a very good thing. The sooner this outrages and highly unethical company is sent back into oblivion the better for all of us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
