In this day and Age,
Those who kill for profit or for a living are not to be accounted amongst those who hunt for sport or the love of the game.

I am hoping for "Boddington on Wild Sheep" (or even a series of sheep vids...."Boddington on Bighorns", "Boddington on Thinhorns", "Boddington on Argalis", etc).

I'd love to do a Boddington'esque video on NA wild sheep. I haven't seen anything of the like out there, and there hasn't been much written on what to do to be a successful sheep hunter in a long time. You could cover conditioning, gear for backpacking, nutrition, pack dogs, horse packing, habits, habitat, how to glass, guns, loads, shooting in mountainous terrain, judging sheep, etc, etc.

One on mule deer hunting would also rock. There is a lot more info out there on backcountry mule deer hunting (Eastman, Long, Prothero, Darner, Hanes, etc), but I've never seen a good quality video that covers it all.

Cheers
Chris

What about people who make money from sending people to kill? What about....? What about....? We could keep going. It does seem a little hollow and disrespectful to the animal I agree, but where's the line? Drawing lines is a sticky business. I'd recomend finding what works or doesn't for you and sticking to that.

Has to be either Boddington's Bedtime Stories or Boddington on Bedtime Stories. Which is it?

Now I am enjoying this thread. More clear words could not have been spoken. Getting interesting.

Brett,

Be a little careful what you smoke and post. If someone from the Narcotics Squad was to read that then you would undergo a rather unpleasant interview.

Andrew,

I think we misunderstand each other..... I'm talking about giving the Kroma (on blue light function) to the tracker to help him follow the blood trail easier..... and it works an absolute treat for that.

I use the small ordinary Surefire taped to the barrel and wear two headlights to look for the cat and illuminate the forsight.

Works a treat for me mate!

By the way Lane, you never did get back to me with the list of guys who outdo Craig as far as their contributions to the safari hunting world. That is on AR page one under the " hunting ethics" thread. Also Lane, I bet you do not get too upset when your PH hero Nigel ( who is a great guy in my opinion so no slap at him) shows photos of your nice Uganda trophies at DSC or SCI in hopes of "promoting his service" GOD FORBID that type of commercialism.

I have a great idea guys, why don't you big talkers just not plunk down any money on any of our Boddington DVD's or watch our TV shows. That way you won't be subjected to all the horrors of production realities and besides, a couple of you are such total experts on everything Africa, you have nothing to learn by watching. On top of that I won't have to listen to your chicken shit sniping of everything we do.

What the hell is the difference? I find it funny that a few of our big , vocal, and constant detractors are the same guys that promote the" get close, then ten yards closer " approach on dangerous game, but feel free to snipe from long distance from the security of the internet. I believe the vast majority of guys here like our stuff, and for that I an very thankful. If it is not your favorite it might be a editing style, or game hunted thing. No problem. But when a few of you mock every thing we do top to bottom it makes me ask "why don't you get out there like we do and show us how it's done. Make the time commitments away from home and family. Spend the money on gear, travel, cameras, editing equipment, personel and the list goes on. Spend 4 months a year in the badlands after stuff that can and does kill my type with nothing but a camera in your hands all in an effort to make an honest living and produce a product that folks with your same passion will enjoy. Tim, Craig, and for the most point Ivan laugh our detractors off and don't get upset about your internet bitch slaps. I am wired a bit differently. My days of offering to square off on this type of nonesense are behind me , but once, just once I would like one of you to have the simple courtesy, or balls to come up and give it to us in person . No one's going to come over a table, but it would be a real treat to have you be looking us in the eye as you school us on all of our missteps. We are not hard to find either. To close, I know Craig has his detractors, for whatever reason. Most of us do. I am not a guy that blindly defends any man. Few people know Craig as well as I do. Yet I am sure no one fights with him with the frequency or volume as I do ! But he is a decent guy, beyond dedicated to our sport, friendly to strangers, good to his wife, loyal to his country and won't kick his dog kind of guy. Honestly he deserves better treatment than he gets here. But AR is a place to share ideas, compare notes, trade photos and all the other good stuff we all enjoy while logged on. And I am all for that. I know our efforts are not everybody's cup of tea. But when a thread turns from buffalo shit to chicken shit , I feel a need to have my say. There it is.
