Timer for the word Stalker to disappear ! Long range shooting is the same, no stalking involved:ORLY:
This sort of shit happens every where, I have talked to a couple of fishing charter guys I know that have taken out the TV fishing people and been on one trip with one, safe to say "don't believe everything you see on TV".
One was with a couple of groper that had already been pulled up by someone else and then re-rigged and weighted up and thrown back over board so a certain Fishing star could then be filmed bringing it up and claiming it as his own.
Why are we all surprised with all this? They are just trying to make money. If you are not out doing it yourself I guess you know no better :)
This actually disgusts me, Im fairly new to big game hunting and this never really occured to me that magazines would do this. I have that issue on my coffee table and distinctly remember thinking, shit thats a big rack for public land.
a few years ago ,iwas asked by my brother to source some animal heads for a bar he was opening..
in the course of this i ended up in a very prominent taxidermists shop.standing before me was a fairly hefty full mount wapiti sans antlers.
curiosity getting the better of me ,i innocently asked an assistant what the story was.
to my disgust it belonged to the spoilt wee son of a singaporean billionare .apparently dady having had a gutsful of the wee turd banished him to NZ 'big game hunting".
the rack to be put on was off a farmed animal and as this "hunter"had shelled out $10,000.00(if my memories correct) it was being freighted home with this wopping great but totally false head!
this staffer didnt see anything wrong ,but i walked out in disgust , disgust for the number of kiwi hunters whod struggle all their lives to get anything resembling this, and disgust that this fucking forgery was being mooted as a real example of our game trophies when it blatantly wasnt!
needless to say i wont darken that doorway again.
its like these shooting mags where duckshooters display vast quantities of ducks ,then fucking complain about reduced duck numbers in their regions.yeah we know you can shoot the bloody things without the great white bwana shit ,being repeated continuously. hows abouts taking as much as you can process and eat.
JRW87, ponder this ... More deer are shot in the pub than are ever taken on the hill, here's a thread worth a read, I was a member of this trip... the story will never grace a glossy mag but by christ it's cracker of a yarn. The lessons learnt and the sweat spilt, for me this is hunting... a story that I will treasure forever, not one that will sell a thousand copies but one shared on here by a handful of blokes doing what hunting is really all about... well to me anyway!
this is one of hundreds ... save your hard earned $$ for hunting gear as there is more info and absolute beauty yarns on here than you will ever read in a mag!
