Given all the interest - and segues into Blue Bell ice cream and the lion I will not name because lions shouldn't have names dammit - about my and Craig Boddington's new podcast... https://itunes.apple.com/us/po...podcast/id1026126732 I thought I'd return to ask for questions to be answered on the podcast. Questions can be for Craig (or if you're really hard up, me) and can be about anything hunting and hunting lifestyle related. We'd prefer the questions be actual questions rather than challenges, arguments, or insults, but then again..if that's all you got and you make it interesting...Who knows? Questions will be addressed on next week's episode and I'll post a link when it's up. Who's first? Come on...don't be shy. | ||

Craig, what's your spirit animal? | |||

He's a redhead so I'm guessing orangutan. Still, that's on the list! Ha! | |||

Craig, what's your favorite episode of Blackadder? | |||

Hey Craig, is shoulder laughing appropriate bar room etiquette in the southern African countries or should I just save it for raffle ladies at the DSC convention? | |||

No firearms, groin shots, or fish hooking allowed. | |||

Craig, do you adhere to Chatham House Rule when someone tells you an outrageously dirty joke in church? | |||

Most of these questions should be immediately moved to the 'Ask Walter' forum.  | |||

I'm too scared to post there. Now, if we had an 'Ask Gayne' forum...  | |||
|
One of Us |
Gayne, what is your or Craig's view on the future of hunting in general, Africa in particular? Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

Good one. I bet we'll have different answers. | |||

Crazyhorseconsulting: Now, that's finally a GOOD question!  Maybe we can get a few more intelligent questions. . . . .  | |||

Craig, how many buffalo have you killed now? | |||

Do you think Botswana will eventually re-open for hunting? STAY IN THE FIGHT! | |||

I will ask the politically incorrect question Does Craig Boddington pay list/full price for the hunts or are they paid/subsidized by outfitters looking for free native advertising. Mike | |||
|
| one of us |
Gayne, between you, this "TJ" and the douche nozzle who was selling Craig's used clothes, I feel bad for Craig. A good man and writer gone astray. | |||
|
| One of Us |
Shoot us some more questions. We record on August 20!!! | |||
|
| One of Us |
When will he write a sheep and goat book? | |||
|
| One of Us |
Will be answered. | |||

Good one. Keep 'em coming | |||

Is he going to be doing a fourth "ten years in africa" book? How has the decline of outdoor magazines effected him? (Think we know the answer to that!) | |||

There are a few on this forum that seem preoccupied with this question. Who gives a rats ass? Really? Just understand that for industry celebrities, a hunt is a business transaction instead of the holiday it is for the rest of us. What the two parties work out to their mutual satisfaction is their own business. Know that there is a business relationship of some nature and that you aren't going to see a negative hunt report released to the masses as a result. Take whatever report is produced with the huge grain of salt it deserves.  If someone books a hunt (or buys a particular make / model of gun) based solely on an industry celebrity's recommendation ... well, I hope it works out. A better idea would be to take the outfit's name as presented in the report / show, etc. and use that as a jumping off point to start your own research. That's how advertising SHOULD work.  Now for the real question of importance; Are there any used T-Shirts remaining?  | |||
|
| One of Us |
Agreed.. I enjoy reading his work and whether he gets a discount or not is simply none of my business or anyone else's. However if products are giving to a writer for field trials it's hard to get a accurate take on what they really think. They are paid to tell us how good they are for the most part. | |||
|
| One of Us |
Now that Craig has extensive experience all over the globe. What areas and animals is he focusing on in the coming years? | |||
|
| One of Us |
I agree with you. If there are any T shirts available'Todd,'I will buy you one for Christmas. | |||

What a bunch of  Of course Craig gets some hunts comped to him, he would be an idiot to not accept those invitations..I'm a booking agent and I have been comped many hunts over the years..I suspect that every whiner out there on this subject would jump at the chance of comped hunt. BTW its damn good advertisement for the outfitter if he picks the right guy and not some ninny just out to get a freeby..It certainly helps me sell an outfitters hunts when I tell him Ive hunted with the man and he is top rate..Its all part of the business and its a plus for everyone involved. Most of this stuff is simply jealousy and by those wannabes that don't want to "earn" the priviledge. I'm bett'en they vote for Hillary..

I would love to hear the true answer on that one! He has hunted Africa more than 100 times, Europe, Asia (One Markor is over $50,000!) and everywhere else on a writers salary??? I read it somewhere a while back where CB said that he paid "full price" for all of his hunts.....I seriously doubt this is true unless he has a rich daddy that he doesn't talk about or an anonymous sponsor. It might also have something to with his bankruptcy's?? | |||

All right Craig, from the hip: screw one, marry one, kill one Caitlyn Jenner, Rosie O'Donnell, Donna Boddington, go... | |||

Answer next week... And probably not as exciting or controversial as you'd think. | |||

This is a harsh bunch... I am surprised no one mentioned marital advice. | |||
