I just got an e-mail from Heartland Wildlife Ranches pimping there Missouri elk hunts.......since I don't have any interest in shooting penned elk, and Missouri has no wild elk that I know of, and I don't ever remember subscribing to the Heartland Wildlife mailing list.......I hit the "Safe Unsubscribe" link to remove my address from the list.......it apparently unsubscribed me, but then I noticed it said:

Hmmmmm......yes, I am subscribed to the Mombasa newsletter.....no, I did not give them permission to share my info......especially with an outfit pimping penned elk "hunts"!!! This newsletter came through an e-mail account that I don't post on any of the boards....because I don't want it filled with spam......Thanks a lot Mombasa!

I got the same email, although it was trapped by my spam filter.

I got the same email from Heartland Wildlife Ranches this morning. I was subscribed to the Mombasa mailing list also.
Hmmmmm........

I'm subscribing to Mombasa and got the offer from Heartland Ranches "elk shoot" this morning, went straight to the trashcan.

Just so ya'll know the same man that owns Mombasa Trading is doing p/r work for places like Heartland. So in this instance he probably just sent the advertisements to his customer list in hopes that he could sale some hunts for his p/r clients.

That may be true, but it doesn't give him the right to sell/share info.......

I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate it if I sold/gave his contact info to a bunch of sales people!

Hey, now there's an idea........maybe I'll pass his contact info on to a few car and insurance salesmen.......maybe even a few dozen telephone solicitors......turn about is fair play!

Gonhuntin,

Didn't say I agreed with what he did, because I don't believe in breaching a trust once it has been established. I was telling you why I think he did what he did.

I understand why.....I just don't think he had the right to do it......looks like you agree.

By the way, this e-mail came from "John and Kelly Dahlquist <kelly@heartland-wildlife.com>", not Mombasa........the only way to know it was connected with Mombasa is by hitting the "Safe Unsubscribe" link on the e-mail.......
