Thread: Stonker

Guess the whole "trophy" argument reminds me how lucky I am, all I care about is : first, can I eat it? and second? :is it pretty/handsome/narly/character filled?.

Everybody wants to be loved, I don't need a bunch of SCI or NZDA @#$%'s loving me cause my .........tape, is bigger than theirs.

Just hope they don't mess up your hunts on public land. They are out there with their guides and helicopters riding on the shoulders of the giants struggling in the scrub below them.

SCI refused to accept helihunted trophies in 2009 but 60%-80% of NZ helihunt clients are SCI members. Similar BS is the misrepresentation of "trophy" and 'hunt" by New Zealand hunting guides.

Canned Hunts - MeatEater

In fact, I believe that all hunters—even those who do canned hunts—know the difference. I believe this because they intentionally fudge the lines when it comes to how they discuss their activities. How come you so infrequently meet a canned hunter who admits openly that the trophy on his wall was taken behind a fence? How come hunting shows that do canned hunts never bother to mention the fact that the animals they’re supposedly stalking can’t really get away? I know a guy who hunted New Zealand once, and he killed a huge stag there in a place that I know to be fenced. When he got home, he talked a lot about the experience. He told the history of New Zealand, how it was discovered by Captain Cook. He talked about the fact that it was once home to flightless birds that stood thirteen feet high, but that the birds were killed off by indigenous hunters; he talked about the weather where he hunted, and the kinds of plants there, and the sorts of terrain he walked on. He even talked about the quality of the light in the early morning. But through all that detail, he always failed to mention the fact that his stag was released into that enclosure from a truck, and that he knew before he arrived that he’d be killing it. I’m not sure why he doesn’t mention these things, but perhaps the word “guilt” has something to do with it.

I like Saint Hubertus the first westerner to state a hunting code its been in place since 700AD

Sankt Hubertus (German) is honored among sport-hunters as the originator of ethical hunting behavior.

During Hubert's religious vision, the Hirsch is said to have lectured Hubertus into holding animals in higher regard and having compassion for them as God's creatures with a value in their own right. For example, the hunter ought to only shoot when a humane, clean and quick kill is assured. He ought shoot only old stags past their prime breeding years and to relinquish a much anticipated shot on a trophy to instead euthanize a sick or injured animal that might appear on the scene. Further, one ought never shoot a female with young in tow to assure the young deer have a mother to guide them to food during the winter. Such is the legacy of Hubert who still today is taught and held in high regard in the extensive and rigorous German and Austrian hunter education courses.
