Can we agree on this issue?

Question for Larry Shores, mate can you expand on the comment about Illegal hunting in Australia? I find it hard to believe that CB would get involved in a shady outfitter and as an Aussie I'm interested to know what its all about? Perhaps if we know who is offering illegal hunts we can steer people in the right direction if the come asking for advice in hunting in Australia.

You know, Conrad, you have presumed to represent Craig Boddington in all of this. And with that comes tremendous responsibility: The reputation you are so skillfully and
energetically sullying is more than your own.

Take a suggestion from this codger and take your head out of your ass, apologize for your intemperate remarks, give up your quixoticcampaign to "help a friend", and pray
that Craig forgives you. Trust me, yours is
the last kind of help he needs.

Gentlemen,

Does anyone know more about this hunt in Australia?

It was conducted in a national park. I have forgotten. The PH's last name is Pennicott as I recall. I was told of it by an Australian who was pushing an investigation. CB was apparently advised of the problem at the convention.

Nothing I was told lead me to believe that CB knew it was illegal when he went on the hunt.

Here is my favorite line:

"Finally, I've stepped in the ring with you ladies now. Go warm up a stack of Hot Pockets and get your mommy to ice down your 12 pack of Mountain Dew because I don't tangle on the internet often but when I do, it isn't pretty."

That is actually pretty funny.

Here you are Tony.

I will put the blame squarely on the PH who conducted the hunt, not Craig.

How many of us go to other countries and hunt relying on the honesty of the PH?

I certainly do.

I agree. I was absolutely not trying to disparage CB in any way. However, it is a problem that he may have to deal with. Potentially a very expensive problem if USFW gets involved and decide to push it.

You old codgers don't understand that any publicity is good publicity. As Conrad points out, CB is also an old codger so Conrad and the production company will have to explain that concept to him as well.

Conrad's career will take a positive turn now as well. He won't have to spend all that time on planes and filming in out of the way places. He'll be doing high quality film work at kids' dance recitals and school plays and such.

It's good to see such genius in young folks these days.

Wow, looks like I caused a lot more of a stir than I had anticipated! In all honesty I am a supporter of CB's work. He has been an influential writer in the hunting industry for quite some time. I came to you guys with my first post because I figured you may have some knowledge on why this type of campaign would arise. Conrad, I do not know the man you are presuming that I am, but with your response it appears you have stirred up a problem with people that was not intended by my posting. I do know one thing, it looks like I have an answer to my original question.

Greetings.

Firstly, thanks to the folks who withheld judgement and showed respect to Craig Boddington. He's a great guy, friend, father, hunter and veteran. I was trying to do something nice for him by creating the indiegogo.com campaign and the subsequent website.

This is Conrad Evarts. A cameraman who you can Google and find out much of my professional background. Novel idea right? Instead of just gazing wet eyed into this clunky, outdated website populated by graybearded paranoids who don't realize the internet evolved. No, seriously this website sucks The fact that you nuts are on here gives me a great deal of insight into your mindset.

School is now in session. Let's start by taking our tinfoil hats off and putting our thinking caps on. Hopefully when we're done the paranoids here can get their nurse to administer their meds, put them to bed and unplug their computers and the rest of the haters can return to their bunkers to polish their 30,000 rounds of ammo.

I am real. I was trying to do something nice for someone I respect. Craig Boddington was not terribly savvy on my effort because he spends all his time in the boonies but trusted me to try and make this work.

More importantly, outside of your antiquated worlds crowd funding sites like www.indiegogo.com and www.kickstarter.com are very acceptable ways to raise money for business endeavors. There are many for profit businesses using them. These include everything from musicians and movie studios to bakeries and websites.

Set down your tattered Jack O'Connor bible, get in a friggin' time machine and blast yourself to 2013. All sorts of businesses are using crowd funding. It's not strange at all.

So, in conclusion:
-I am real. Google me.
-This was not a scam and is totally normal these days.
-Craig Boddington was not entirely savvy because he is of your generation. This was not his fault and besides that if it wasn't for you crusty old haters this would be totally cool and worked and created something great for a new generation of hunters.
-Craig Boddington did not take a vow of poverty to be who he is. If someone like me can help him raise money to create a site that would only be judged by a total commie.

If you don't like the idea of me raising funds to put together a totally positive and interesting website as a favor to a friend you don't have to contribute to it.

Craig asked me to disable the campaign. I did so out of respect for him not to placate you blood sucking, paranoid savages. You haters are pathetic.

And "Lonestar 2075"...Tim, I know who you are. You know who I am. I've been to your crappy little shop in Texas to repair an episode your operation screwed the pooch on years ago. You're a coward and an embarrassment. Grow a pair and put your name up.

Finally, I've stepped in the ring with you ladies now. Go warm up a stack of Hot Pockets and get your mommy to ice down your 12 pack of Mountain Dew because I don't tangle on the internet often but when I do, it isn't pretty.


Thanks again to everyone who showed respect to Craig. I meant what I said, I spent a great deal of time with him in the field. I respect him and he's a good person.

Sincerely,

Conrad Evarts (proud friend of Craig Boddington)

I'm going bear hunting. I will check in on Monday or Tuesday.

You mention Geoff Miller and previously I posted a question re his "Navy Cross". I believe some
discussion had been had in that he was never awarded it or had served in the US Military.

If so, my question is why would CB, a high ranking officer in the Marines associate with
someone like this if it was true ?

Kind of goes against anything and everything
the Marines and an Officer stands for.

Anyone care to comment ?

As far as I'm concerned, that's a financial decision the operators make much in the same way they spend money on advertising. I'm just not envious of a man who carves out a successful career, regardless of what industry he is involved in. When I read a story written by an industry pro, I understand there is some compensation being paid. It just dosen't bother me in the least.
