As alleged, this is truly shocking and disgusting behavior.

Not to mention criminal.

Any "outfitters" - and any clients - that would do such things should be extradited and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Sounds to me like ABC was wanting to paint a bad picture.
That stuff goes on routinely with many other countries' "sportsmen", but I have not witnessed it among American hunters in 40+ years of hunting, although it has to happen occasionally--just like with UnderCover Reporters or any other group of men or women "on vacation".

Good Lord. I hope this all doesn't get too self-righteous. There are more prostitutes in Chicago than white people. No ABC secret investigations there these days.

I just watched the report on ABC News with Diane Sawyer. Absolutely, DISGUSTING. Any operator involved in child exploitation should be banned from any convention and if possible prosecuted.

I hope the F.B.I. uses every resource to expose and prosecute these criminals.

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

I can hope ABC will out every one of those sick bastards, clients and tour operators alike. And that the feds will arrange for them to rot in jail before they rot in hell.

If you guys are all serious, and hear or see this going on, report it.

A friend of mine won a bird hunting trip in Argentina and when he told the owner of the lodge he was planning on bringing his young teenage sons, they told him not to - for the reasons listed in the article. Needless to say, he is now trying to sell that hunt to someone else.

Whether the girls are of legal age or not, the hunting industry needs to break all links with companies like this. SCI and other hunting associations need to keep a black list of companies.

We all report fishy/bad guides and outfitters when our hunts go bad. Why not start the same here?

I hate to even post to this, just because it will bring it back to the top. I have been going to DSC for many years, and have NEVER had an outfitter, guide, PH or anyone else offer or even mention prostitutes, pedophile parties, or anything like this. I think the moderators should pull this one, it has no place on a hunting forum. If this was going on, DSC or SCI would ban them from the convention.

So you're suggesting the film is faked? If not, it obviously did go on, so are you in denial or what? No one is suggesting it is common practice but we should police our own, probably much better than we do.


xxxxxxxxxx
When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

Does this kind of stuff go on, Yes.

With enough money, ANYONE can buy ANYTHING they want.

That has been part of the HUMAN CONDITION since Day One.

DSC/SCI and any of the other organizations that put on such conventions are the ones that need to do a better job of finding out who or what the companies that are manning exhibits at their respective shows, are actually offering, or what they are WILLING TO OFFER FOR THE RIGHT PRICE.

There are certainly hookers in many parts of the world. Some of the places are notorious. Costa Rica for example. The stories I have heard are pretty crazy. I have never been there. However, I am told by people that have been there that it is a well developed industry there.

South American hunts are notorious. Many outfitters do not allow any such activities in their lodge. However, they will take people to town if they like for a night of entertainment. I have seen people openly ask about this in front of people they don't even know.

I once went to Bulgaria on a red stag hunt. Before I went the booking agent told me about "things that could be arranged". That is the one and only time I have ever heard of children in this type of situation. At the time, I wasn't sure why he was telling me. In retrospect it was a warning. At some point, a woman from the hunting company offered to bring some of these girls in. She was as casual as if she were asking what we wanted for breakfast. Needless to say, I said I wasn't interested. There is a reason I have not gone back.

Just said I have never seen one offered at DSC. The first time I saw this mentioned was in an article where some guy who offers Peacock Bass fishing trips to the Amazon was accusing other outfitters of offering "sex vacations". Don't know how DSC got pulled in. The guy was accusing the other outfitters of stealing his business by offering prostitutes as well as fishing. I think he was trying to bring it to court sometime this year. I have been a member of DSC for many years, and work as a volunteer at the convention. If they knew of anything like this going on at the convention, they would not allow it.

Other than prosecution to the full extent of the law they should be named and shamed in the industry- clients, outfitters and agents who facilitate.

USA Hunting : USA: Dallas Safari Club to Enforce Zero Tolerance
on 2010/2/3 22:55:07

This week, Dallas Safari Club (DSC) learned of allegations that certain outfitters exhibiting at sporting shows and expos across the U.S. are offering "child sex tourism
" as part of their international hunting and fishing excursions. DSC announced today that it will aggressively enforce zero tolerance for those participating in these types of activities.

Outfitters shown to be involved will be banned from DSC membership and all club events.

How do you propose we at DSC "police our own"
especially if they are Non- member exhibitors?

The exhibitor private parties and meetings that occur during the yearly convention are numerous,
many agents and safari and fishing operators throw parties/gatherings for past and prospective clients.

DSC cannot patrol/chaperone/monitor/ supervise these PRIVATE (not DSC sponsored) gatherings.

It is fine to propose such nanny-state behaviour--

but truly, HOW do you implement such a an undertaking;

PARTICULARLY if you have NO knowledge of the PRIVATE gatherings?

This is so full of it that it's almost unbelievable.

Think about it. You have to find a booking agent to agree. Then you have to find an outfitter. Then you have to have a hunting camp with no one else in it.

Too many variables to make this a common occurance.

I know that if it happened in any of my hunting camps (and I'm sure in yours) that it would end quickly. If I found anyone in my camp doing anything like this portrayed I'd have a one on one with no reservations asked.

Men with Children? I just don't get it.

With that said, I just returned from CAR and the next hunters flown in were Russians. And they brought their girlfriends...

I can't comment on the aspect of kids except to say I reckon any and all paedos deserve suspended sentences...... as in suspended by the neck until dead....... but I can say we, like many other safari companies were sent a couple of email shots some months ago from a company offering to provide 'feminine company' to hunting camps for the client's entertainment....... they even had a website (something like whoresRus.com rotflmo) and offered to provide individual CVs and (if I remember correctly) also pay commission. animal

Needless to say, I just told them to remove us from their mailing list.

I’m not sure that prostitution involving adults is even truly consenting…

When children are involved it truly turns revolting…

In the end it all sums up to human trafficking….

I say take all involved drop them out in the bush and assign a trophy fee of $50 per head…

Kind of like shooting baboons but a lot more gratifying…

My point is this, ABC News has a history of making up 'stories' to boost ratings. They are anti hunting and anti gun to the extreme. It seems much more likely that they would concoct a smear job on one of the largest hunting conventions than for this to be true. I have visited many outdoor shows/hunting conventions and talked to lots of outfitters/booking agents and never have I heard of adding hookers to the mix (much less underage ones). Sorry, this does not pass the smell test---- Logic says it is a made up story.

buckeyeshooter: You and I have two opposite forms of logic, if you think this is a made up story. Instead of blaming ABC news we should give them a pat on the back for helping weed out these characters from the outdoor industry. Everybody isn't out to get the hunting industry. We have to police ourselves better in order to prevent stories such as these from surfacing.

It's typical to react with the "anti-hunting, anti gun" criticism. There are bad apples everywhere, in law enforcement, government even the golf world. That story was not made up, and was well presented.

If the goal was to fabricate a story for ratings, there were many different things that could have been done. For starters, FYI, April is not a ratings month. Feb, May, July and Nov are the ratings/sweeps months when the wacky stories come out.
