    I don't know.

    For me a trophy is a photograph but for some that is not the case.
    I also relocate spiders :? no kill

    I wouldn't pass judgement because someone hunts not like I did when I was young.
    On my path I have met some good people who hunt....
    as kind generous compassionate as the next guy.

    People need to be honest here and go back to where all this hate comes from ...
    me thinks it's still just cause he is on the opposite side of the fence,
    is that a good enough reason for hate ?

    :nono:

    No that's not a good enough reason to hate someone. So I guess its a good thing that i hate him for ADMITTING to put his very grown up sexual organ in very young girls. I'm not talking about the 17 year olds, I'm talking about the 13 and 14 year olds.

    Christ almighty I still can't believe he gets a pass on that from some of you.

    So my question is this, its Okay to give a pediphile a pass because he speaks out against a president that you don't like?

    It goes both ways.
    Peace, Love.

    It goes both ways.
    If this is directed at me I like our President have not dissed him, looks like between
    the choices I have going for me he will probably get my vote.
    So you are wrong about me so perhaps also others.
    I see a political connection as you do.

    I will research the words you have said he has said.
    I feel he is a bigger than life personality and I do not like everything he stands for
    nor does
    but that is true for most everyone.
    No one is perfect everyone makes mistakes, some repeatedly,
    we all do stuff when we are young that is embarrassing
    and is nothing like that we would do when we are old.

    I just try to understand others in the hopes of learning, bonding and forgiving...
    that I can do!

    I'll look into your accusations.

    Pandora - there is nothing to commend about his 'hunting' skills. He "hunts" in reserves, ranches where game is put at the disposal of the 'hunter', baited and rounded up for their pleasure. He has a ranch like this too, he makes money out of it. These are called 'canned hunts' - from Wiki: "A canned hunt is essentially a trophy hunt in which the animal is kept in a more confined area, such as in a fenced-in area, increasing the likelihood of the hunter obtaining a kill. According to one dictionary, a canned hunt is a "hunt for animals that have been raised on game ranches until they are mature enough to be killed for trophy collections."

    He eats what he kills? Really?? I'm sure the rhino, which he had it's head as a trophy on his wall, tasted good :roll: And he has killed animals 'by the thousands' (see below) - what an appetite he must have!

    A great quote from Nugent: “I'm stymied to come up with anything funnier than people who think animals have rights. Just stick an arrow through their lungs.”

    From an article by Nugent:

    "I have celebrated the immense pleasure of killing pigs with handguns, rifles, shotguns, crossbows, longbows, recurve bows, compound bows, and with my F-250. I killed a pig with a knife in Hawaii once. It was splendid.

    You would think that after more than a dozen thrilling African safaris -- killing lion, buffalo, elephant, rhino, greater kudu, eland, zebra, gemsbok, impala, warthog, tsetsebee, tiang, blesbok, nyala, reedbuck, waterbuck, bushbuck, white-eared kob, lesser kudu, Lord Derby Eland, steenbok, dik-dik, duiker, springbok, giraffe, sable, roan, baboon, wildebeest, and hunting the amazing North American buffalo, elk, moose, grizzly bear, black bear, whitetail deer, mule deer, blacktail deer, musk ox, cougar, caribou, javelina, and wild hogs by the thousands -- that a simple, standard, plain old ordinary pig wouldn't excite me that much anymore. "

    Note some of the above are vulnerable species. Some of the above are not hunted for food but for 'trophies'/skin, etc.

    Yep - he's an 'ethical' hunter all right :roll:

    What a simple and clear explanation. Too bad that the animal with the ego the size of Jupiter can't understand that.

    I guess there are articles on both sides of the fence as we keep seeing

    I'm not a hunter but am also not opposed to trophy hunting, as you appear to be.

    Every person makes their choices it is not my choice to judge others.

    This has got to be a joke. If not, what a sick fuck. :shock:
    Im really amazed that people can feel this excited about all that death. I cant help but imagine all those animals he's killed -- and if they were alive all in one area, how incredible a vision it would be.

    This article is just nugent mouthing off again. He is not ethical. Note the interviewer's questions.... 'believe themselves...', 'seem'...... Tongue in cheek to me!

    Nugent: I promote the truth and everybody except the lunatic fringe appreciates the truth and lives by the same logic that I do."...... Hmmmmmm... ok then....

    I have no doubt that 'ethical' hunters may be 'close' to a certain type of nature but thinking they are 'great consevationists' is an insult to any 'real' conservationist.

    But more to the point, Pandora, you are quite happy to see animals killed for no other reason than to be a trophy, to stuff them, hang them on your wall or have their skins as rugs - "I am.... also not opposed to trophy hunting." :shock: Wow... I'm speechless...

    It is very hard for non hunters to understand being of a very different mindset.
    This too for myself.
    That is the basic point. We are not all alike. Not all hunters are alike in mindset.
    But I will not claim to be a better person because I do not kill.
    I eat meat, it would be very hypocritical to find fault with legal hunters.

    Excited about death :? ... my goodness look at the news, the murders, rapes, war,
    even the favorite movies out, many humans seem to embrace just that to some degree.

    how can one be a "conservationist" and be ok with destroying wild animals? it is wholly inconsistent with the definition of "conservationist"...how can you conserve them while making them dead??

    Yeah... I guess it's also very hard for a non child rapist to understand being a child rapist. Wouldn't want to upset the rapist by not trying to understand his mindset and call him a sick fuck, would we?

    We do not have 'to be' to 'understand' or have an opinion.

    Again, Nugent is not a hunter, though he likes to think he is.

    Which no one disputes. This thread is about Nugent - that type of 'hunter'.

    I guess he thinks if hunters (he mentions those that hunt water fowl) notice habitat destruction, they can tell someone who can then do something about it so fowl come back (these are the conservationists), but once the animals come back, the hunters will be back to kill them.

    I think the conservationist refers to the over herd... my article speaks to that
    by National Geographic and the video posted.

    I would imagine for a hunter it may be an addiction to some degree, the hunt and thrill.
    Also to hunt different animals.
    It is hard for our minds to grasp that but it is also hard for my mind to grasp those who choose
    to be in the military for a lifetime, even after numerous war tours.
    It doesn't mean it is wrong just different than what I would choose.

    Again, the point is missed. The point being: We do not have 'to be' to 'understand' or have an opinion. I guess my 'shock' tactics aren't as good as Nugent.

    Though I may be doing the same as you in missing the analogy between 'wanting' to be a trophy hunter as Nugent and a career soldier - really.... comparing those two occupations?
