I was just reading the Cal Pappas thread on Marc Sullivan and his videos. It got me thinking, what are the all time "hot button" topics on AR?

Here are a few I remember -
1. Canned lion hunting

2. Marc Sullivan

3. 45-70 as a dangerous game gun

4. Helicopter hunting in New Zealand

5. Shooting from the truck

6. Fat guys - in general

7. Muzzle brakes..

8. Ray Ray Atkinson and his photoshop skills posting deer pics and his bait and switch hunt with Pierre Von Tonder

8. Ray Ray and his lawyer - Doug Chester

9. Capstick and his real experience

10. Was Pondoro Taylor gay or not

11. Carmelo and his antics

12. Cindy Garrison and her antics

What others?

Back off Cindy Garrison pal...

Didn't Nixon steal a bunch of TC's off a chap who gives Llamas a good packing?

Oh, that's just wrong! Funny as hell though!

Spotlighting Cindy Garrison and Mark Sulivan out of a Helicopter shooting a fat guy with a 45-70 out of a truck when they are supposed to be shooting a canned Lion with Ray Atkinson and his pretend attorney who represents muzzle brake companies.

That really is a hot topic for me. Luckily, I think this is the first time in the history of AR anyone has brought it up.

POS Remington 700s...

It would be fun if Saaed would post a "all time stats". Most viewed etc from the beginning of this forum.

Llamapacker stealing Nixon's checks and Blair stealing his client's money may not be "hot" like Cindy Garrison, but they are IMO the most unbelievable threads:

1. If you study the postings made by Llamapacker as well as the timing, the fact he never mentioned the theft until Nixon tried to cash his checks, etc. it is clear Llamapacker is a liar. That he would screw a guy because his hunt didn't turn out the way he wanted is just unreal.
2. Blair not refunding his commission has to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen on AR.

You just made my list of top 10 posts this year!!!

Don't forget any post having anything to do with SCI....

and PH's following up and shooting at your game. (Probably less of an issue after the pounding those guys took last year!) And of course, which is the best, double gun or bolt rifle and bullet selection for DG!

What chew talkin bout Russ? Everybody know SCI is FIRST for hunters and the ONLY acceptable rifle for use on DG is a DR!!

Hang on now, let me get my fox hole dug.

Terminal Bullet Performance is our most viewed thread.

It has almost 11,000 posts, and almost 300,000 views, and goes to 273 pages.

Good hot button list.

I guess I would add:

1. Bowhunting for DG.

2. The use of small bores for elephant (W.D.M. Bell is always dragged into those discussions).

There have been some spirited debates on those topics!

Andrew, you are close, but have it backwards. The guy that gives the llamas a good packing paid Nixon in travelers checks and then reported them stolen, thus giving Nixon a good packing also.

I have not noticed that much fighting on that thread, just discussing with gusto!

Federal Match King bullets used on game!

Bit like why faggots are first to leave the hotel in the morning. Cause they get their shit packed the night before.

What about that elephant hunt, the one with the 5 or 10 pound tusks?

Doubles versus magazine rifles!

+1 I seem to remember a long thread about Sierra Match Kings for big game hunting.

You forgot that part about that Wendell guy being a liar. That was an entertaining 50 pages or so as I recall.

Now there is a dude for whom I felt very sorry.

Shooting hard versus soft boss buff or how to tell soft versus hard - buff that is.

BigB

Haven't mentioned the puny 375 or Barnes bullets

Bow hunting dangerous game

Out of Africa Adventurous Safaris

Fenced vs. Unfenced and how big a fence makes it "unfenced".

Two topics come to mind:

Wendell Reich's inexplicable refusal to personally deliver (and guarantee the condition of) African trophy shipments...

...and...

...any topic on which Shootaway has an opinion.

Oh, what memories!

Now wait a minute, I think my HEIN CONTACT? thread scored fairly high for post count!

How did we leave out:

1. Is a 375 H&H enough gun for DG?

2. 375 H&H vs 375 Ruger?

3. Trigger pull weight for DG rifles?

And sheer, righteous outrage.

Saeed, how about a Hall of Shame forum? Several nominees, including jorge's, are noted in this thread!

Yea, me too. He had us all convinced that it was all the PH's fault! Right up the point that he got outed, then admitted to bribing the game scout to look the other way after wounding and loosing a buffalo bull about an hour prior to shooting the baby elephant!

Ray selling mule deer hunts was a hot topic

I still think he got screwed Todd; you don't bribe the game scout without the PH being involved.

I understand what you are saying in that the PH encouraged him to bribe the game scout, but personally, I know what is right and what is wrong and just because a PH told me to do something I know is wrong, doesn't change the fact that it was wrong and illegal. But to carry it one step further, knowing full well that he had committed a crime and behaved unethically, agreed that the PH did so as well, he comes here on AR and gives his side of the story attempting to gain our sympathy without mentioning he had bribed the scout. Only when he got called out did he admit to lying by omission. For me, that made two strikes against him.

But hey, that's what this thread is about, right? Hot button topics!!
