Any dolt with $$$ and an ego can have a hunting show....just pay the airtime. Pigman is a joke, and he thinks way more of himself than I do for sure, as do most of these pathetic TV show hosts. Shockey and Randy Newman are amongst a few of the ones I can stomach.

were you there? Do you know this for a fact? Now that being said, before I started reading this, I have never heard of Pigman, so I dont know what kind of person he is, but I hate seeing people torn down and claims made when he or she was not present.[/QUOTE]

Yes I know this for a fact On his own Facebook page, he tells of "shanking" two lions in one day at Comre Safaris. Chacking Comre Safaris' Facebook page, who do we see but ole Pigman himself. I don't need to be "present" when cretins like him admit to hunting captive lions on their own Facebook pages.

Not everyone can be a "rich" safari hunter, and as far as hunting shows few I see seem to be "real" as money is involved and can compromise any ones morality (I have seen this firsthand). While I think hunting canned anything is suspect, if you don't admit it upfront you lose all validity. Pigman has an audience of hunters that most likely can't afford a safari. A pig hunt is a more realistic goal to those of moderate income. Bashing "beer drinking rednecks" and the other derogatory comments seems rather elitist. But if he is actually passing off a canned hunt as wild then he would be joining a long line of other "hunting show celebrities" and "great hunters" and should be called out for what he is: A liar

FWIW I don't watch hunting shows for anything more than entertainment. The selective editing just makes most too fake for me-Although in a great while there is one that looks like a real hunt

JGR: I'm sure you mean Randy NEWBERG. Randy Newman is the singer who recorded "Short People".

For years we have tried to highlight the fact that as much as we hate the reality , how we behave in the public domain will in the end determine the future of global hunting , as long as we feed the anti hunters with appalling TV we reap what we sow, and as a recipeient of hunting being closed for non scientific reasons , I can assure you don't take this with a pinch of salt.
