It would be great to have the hunt reports get locked after posting.

It's just not right pissing on someone's report or hunt offer.

Which is precisely why I have not posted one single hunt report on this sight after a half dozen African hunts and countless North American hunts in last decade while I've been a member on this site.

Just to many bwanabes, trolls and A-holes inhabiting AR for me to waste my time sharing something that is important to me with the riff raff on AR.

Of course the majority of folks here are good people but the minority who are not and the total lack of meaningful moderation makes it so there is no recourse against these few who get their rocks off by disparaging the good guys.

I am just not interested in playing under those rules.

I mean holy crap how long did it take for carmello to get booted?

Brett-- I could care less whether you find me to be without class, couth, humor, ect. My opinion is that shooting pen raised animals (as opposed to hunting otherwise wild game behind a high fence-- there is a difference) is crap and, as far as I know, I'm free to express that opinion on these forums.

JTEX-- I can't accept the premise that when someone is "up front" about their intention to enagage in reprehensible behavior excuses the behavior.

Bossie-- If you are willing to publicly announce your intention to pimp out pen raised animals in return for money, be prepared to be called a pimp.

Internet advertisement of canned hunts hurt true sportsmen worldwide. Justifying the practice with the disclaimer that the impossibly corrupt government currently in place in South Africa sanctions that activity is a joke.

Jim,

The last I knew the the Save had 16K's of its fence down. That's basically 10 miles. I guess it would have to be up to the individul if they thought the SAVE constituted a fenced property or not. To me the fence is irrelevant. The point is does the SAVE offer fair chase hunting and I believe it does.

To your original topic as others have suggested perhaps a little more tweaking of the rules for posting a hunt offering should be implemented. I personally have left out details on a hunt that I should have known, included and I apologized for that. I was not intentionally being deceptive but I was in a hurry to put something up and was not careful enough. So I would be more than happy to include more mandatory details. What I object to is the bashing an individual may get because their hunt offering does not fit someone's idea of an ethical hunt or they feel the hunt is too expensive etc. Saeed's philosophy is that if it is legal you can post it. I think all legitimate questions about who, what, where should be addressed by the one offering the hunt but these threads on a hunt that go off into space about whether high fence, low fence, no fence, put and take, naturally breeding etc constutute real hunting seems out of place to me on the Offered and Discounted Hunt forum.

As for the bashing of an individual's hunt report I just find that to be in extremely poor taste. When a bunch of people tell an individual that their hunt was shit when they are obviously quite excited about their experience is just not necessary. This bashing has made me rethink what I personally will include in future hunt reports. Over the last year or so several posters here have said to me "Why would I ever post a hunt report on AR".

How about stopping all the hate talk about Africans while wanting to hunt Africa? How about stopping the colonial bigotry that some express? How about stopping the one eyed political crap blaming Obama for everything?

I find this kind of nonsense far more offensive than some challenging questions & discussion on a hunt report or a hunt offer that do have some merit.

Now just a second .... while I get into the bunker .....
