Personally, I have no respect for trophy hunting. I hate seeing pictures of grown men smiling from ear to ear while standing over a dead, non-edible animal.

If the man truly was himself responsible for breaking the law on the hunt, I hope he's extradited and faces justice.

Zimbabwe wants to extradite him. The US authorities have tried to contact him, to no avail. He appears to be in hiding.

The Nuge said it perfectly.

"“Not a crossbow, not helpless animal, not illegal or unethical to lure/bait from park as all cat hunters do (26% success rate), had license and permits, hired professional gvt guides"

Apparently, the only reason the kill was illegal is that ONE of the two guides didn't have a permit. Beyond that, NOTHING else was illegal.

There must be something in the news that the MSM needs to drown out with manufactured outrage. Hmm, now what darling of the left organization is having a bad time and needs some cover?

Uh, he is precisely the spokesman for ethical hunting and made a compelling case as to who deserves the title "idiots".

Me thinks you qualify.

So a man who participates in canned hunts, pleads no contest to poaching and gets charged with killing deer too young too be hunted is the spokesman for ethical hunting?

Did you have a rebuttal to any of the facts that were listed in his quote?

Using bait to lure lions is considered unethical by the Safari Operators Association of Zimbawe.

"Ethics are certainly against baiting. Animals are supposed to be given a chance of a fair chase," Emmanuel Fundira, the association's president, said. "In fact, it was not a hunt at all. The animal was baited, and that is not how we do it. It is not allowed."

Care to explain how a man who poaches animals is an ethical hunter?

That's nice. PETA thought the chicken sandwich I had for lunch was unethical. Fortunately, their opinion means as much as Fundira's.

Did I say he was an ethical hunter? Please quote that post. We were discussing his status as a spokesman. NRA board member and spokesman is a fact. You should take it up with them if you have a beef.

Sooooo.....an unethical hunter is on the board of the NRA and is, in fact, a spokesman for the NRA? I believe this says a great deal about the ethical standards set by the NRA.

Considering the guide was part of AOAZ and had his license revoked over this, Fundira's opinion does matter. A hell of a lot more than Nugents, the hunt was in Zimbabwe not one of Nugents ranches.

Just because Nugent holds a spot on the NRA board does not mean he represents ethical hunters or is one himself.

I'm not a member, so I wouldn't know. I'm not much of a "joiner".

I didn't get the impression that AOAZ issued the permits or licenses and don't believe Fundira has the power to revoke anything. However, even if that is the case, the dentist went through all the proper channels and relied on the guide's expertise and knowledge of local laws, just as AOAZ recommends.

Agreed on Nugent. However, many hunters do look at him as a spokesman.

Yes, why be openminded and tolerant of opposing viewpoints?

Another somewhat civil conversation interrupted by a member of the liberal Gestapo telling his compatriots how to earn their thought-nazi badges. If they don't comply, maybe you can threaten them with being labeled as consorting with racists. That should get them in line, yeah?
