anybody here of WHA? an ill-conceived promotion!?
The WHA(world hunting association) proposes to broadtcast “catch and release” hunting compitions between pro hunters in high-fenced enclosures! They use tranquilizer darts via bow or rifles, then drugged deer would be measured to add to competitor scores! the “winner” gets big prize money. Like they think it’s bass fishing.They want to telvise this program. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THIS? I think it goes against every tradition, ethic and reason we are “hunters”. If carried out it could irreparably damage the american hunting heritage! The WHA claims that it will draw more young people to hunting. If this is what it takes to secure our future, than we already lost! Imagine deer running off drugged up, they could fall into as much as one inch of water and die or brake a leg don’t forget they don’t plan on killing them. So if they brake a leg then what!? They rehabilitate them, yeah right.


who says you need a lot of education or common sense to make it in sports-entertainment.
Sounds a bit much for Saturday TV. These are private game parks by the way. Not wild deer. They are not going anyplace.
