Somehow I felt like that was directed towards me Tony......not sure though. Just know that I admitted my mistake and it's all over and done with. It's ok if it was directed towards me because as I said, I messed up by sayin what I did. And if you didnt see it before I deleted it, I posted a video of a lion hunt where the lion attacked the hunters and the hunters shot it multiple times, I just thought it was pretty awesome..........but I quickly deleted it after I realized it would be great fuel for the Anti's. I do not understand why people get off shootin things like elephants, but I have to respect their choice because deer and turkey hunting may be viewed the same way to others. What I'm saying is, I AM ON YOUR SIDE. Please know this. I screwed up and said that stupid crap earlier without knowing how it would be interpreted by others. And Rob, I'm drinkin another one for you right now brother! Take care all, hope you know where I stand!

I saw your post and was impressed with it .... we all have judged others that aren't like us sometimes ... you were man enough to admit it ...

Rob....on the other hand, we are our own best lookouts and advocates for the future when we expose crap hunting practices or techniques that might cast us in a bad light.....and for me, I think flying over to Africa and shooting a damn Elephant is crap. Ok, flame me.
Fact is, we are our own worst enemies.
And did you see iamyourhuckleberry's post, elephants can kill you before you kill them. The $ behind taking the elephants go back into ensure the future of the elephants, it feeds whole villages etc.... why would you find that crap? They are freeranging wild animals (for the most part) and it's a practice since the dawn of time.
I choose not to but I won't say it's crap. I'm happy for those who choose to do it.

RE: elephant
hey huckleberry, you act as I am some kind of chickens....well buddy I am not.
I am certainly not a man that lives vicariously through others...thanks huck, " I love the "never been there, know all about it" crowd.".... but that ain't me.

Southern, there is no reason for you to apologize to anyone. Hunting/fishing runs through my blood and I am as adamant about doing both as anyone else that I know.....but for anyone to use scare tactics on me to get me to "conform" to a standard set of beliefs used by true "hunters", ones that will not "rock the boat" with anti-hunting anything because somehow the Anti's will latch on and drown us will never work on me.....for I am not a weak minded Jedi.

RE: elephant
Rob...you have very good points, ones that counter mine strongly. However, something within my soul says that type of hunting just does not sit well with me....maybe that is why I am so strongly against MYSELF doing it.
"And did you see iamyourhuckleberry's post, elephants can kill you before you kill them.

Very good points. And yes I think your arguments counter mine in the most logical of senses....however, one sense it doesn't override is my sense of what MY purpose is in the hunting world.
