Phoniest 'Hunt' EVER!
- Thread starter Demonical
- Start date
This year was not the best. But we got a few. Wolves and coyotes are the worst I have ever seen. The area we hunt is rough and a 100 yard shot is about the limit. We use dogs or would likely not see anything. Some places in the valley [farmland] there are lots of deer. I own a small farm and could shoot deer anytime but it is not the same. Would like to go to Alberta some day and try my luck.
There's no deer here. Better hunting in B.C., Sask, Man etc...
Ha ha , good one.
So hunting basically sucks in the Ottawa Valley?
Hunting for me is whackin the two supp tags on the opening two days and then watching hundreds of deer while you wait for a good buck. (Not that I shot one the last two years -- nailed little ones cause the kids were with me).
It's THOMAS Pigeon BTW. His eider shooting show is the one that bothered me. No way all those birds were retrieved.
Sorry man,Walter was the actor.The asshat still bugs me though,probably because I don`t have sponsers to pay for all my hunting.If I did,I would put a way better show on than him.More how to stuff and much better shooting.
It is not so much that one is calling a this hunt unethical....
The problem I have with shows like that is they are trying to sell it off as an ACTUAL wild hunt?
IT is a SAD day when hunters have to try and pass off their hunt-farm/tame trophies as the real deal to make up for some inadequacy they have in life...if you kill an animal simply for bragging rights than you are NOT a hunter!

the sheep were actually actors...no one was harmed during the filming
It must be very frustrating for you that us "asshats" stand in the way of you getting to pretend that pet shooting is actually "hunting".
No you don't. You agree that your deffinition of ethics and free chase should be the standard.
I do support other hunters. I don't support people who want to commercialize what once were wild animals for the convenience of a few.
We all know hunters who strap the boots on year after year and spend countless days and dollars chasing sheep. Yet you have no problem calling the "asshat" who shoots one of these:
a hunter.
....and don't expect to shoot a record book animal every year...
Hunting is an experience......being outdoors, spending time with family&friends, enjoying nature....killing an animal is secondary.

Very good post...
It sickens me that there are Elk farms in Sask. where rich guys go, pick the Elk they want(out of a photo album), pay 7,000 to 15,000 to go and shoot this penned Elk that was born and raised on a game farm...
IF you have that kind of cash why not go on a REAL Wild hunt....?
Everyone has to earn a living but as a hunter I could NEVER participate or operate such a sham of a business....

I totally agree on the hunt farm thing but quite honestly, most of the shows I see on TV are free range. I'm not sure what channel you guys are watching where most aren't. Sure there are a few that aren't but they aren't the norm from what I've seen. Although I don't watch a lot of television.

two kinds of elk hunting around here
the first is tough because the wolves have killed or driven most of the elk away...
the second is tough cuzz elk are heavy and the fences are high...
jk
to each his own,but there's a HUGE difference between a hunter and a shooter!
I watched one last year....I forget the name.(PSE bowhunter rings a bell I may be wrong so don't quote me on that.)
Anyways they were on a Archery Elk hunt(somewhere in U.S.A).
There was quite alot of editing but in one part they were driving in a truck talking with a guide that had "spotted" a large Bull with a herd over yonder...
So the next sequence is set-up and doing some cow chirping...and sure enough there is a herd of Elk and BIG bull comes over the hill and he shoots it with and arrow.
What part they didn't edit that in background of video you could see 2 large rubber tires that were stacked together like a feeder and a group of Elk that were around it....feeding on something....you have to watch closely as they only showed it for a second but you could see it.
After the shot the other Elk kind of milled about and seemed not to care???
Then they cut to the part where buddy has got a hold of his.....".....trophy of a lifetime..." and pats on the back all around.
I would say that there is alot more game farm hunting being passed off as fair chase hunts....just most of the incriminating evidence ends edited out....
I'm not a hunter but I enjoy watching hunting shows. I have never seen the ones that featured canned hunts where the animals are fenced in. The ones I occasionally watch are always outdoors in places like Alberta, Saskatchewan or the Yukon. And the part that I like the most is that they don't always get a kill. This to me, as a realist, makes the show. You go out into nature and let nature take it's course. Sometimes you get a deer for dinner, sometimes you don't and have to break open a can of beans instead.
Guess I saved myself US$3250 this year. when I tell the wife, she's sure to let me buy another gun.

As for farmed hunts..I could care less how much someone pays, I could care less how big the animals are. What I don't like is when these animals or hunts are portrayed as being "wild" or fair chase, but even this is not my biggest issue.
Disease and other bull#### that some of these game farms harbor, can be devastating to the actual wild populations when a fence breaks, animals escape, share food plots, etc.
I feel much the same about farming your deer. Specifically engineered food, for "wild" animals....(?) so they can grow larger racks, etc etc etc.
The only thing missing in the equation to distinguish it from livestock, is ownership...
The fences, the feed, etc are all in place and sometimes it is even believed that ownership is too.
