It sure doesn't take Saeed long to suck any post about Craig or SCI into the gutter. Some people have and addiction be it to drugs or booze or to ragging on people or organizations. Then some people will put up with anything if it gets them something for free, eh. Yes Craig Boddington has done more for hunting than anyone on this board and probably and other living person.

I thought Saeed owned this site? If so, he can do whatever he wants to. If you don't like it, leave.

Nice Serval.

Craig has not aged if anything he looks younger. Boy but has he put on weight and I am not sure the beard suits him?

I don't understand why anybody is into CB, he reminds of me that blowhard jim shockey that is way over glorified like a fireman wearing a badge wearing captain stripes on the sleeve.
The sad reality is, as a writer you have to pimp yourself out and promote the product in this magazine writing business to survive. Hopefully the internet will put a stop to all of this blow hard self promotion nonsense.
I also recall that CB was using a title/ranking from the USMC that was not earned properly and somewhat abusing the title as a writer for several articles but that came to a quick stop after investigation.

His magazine articles, books, presentations, TV shows and videos have convinced a pile of people to hunt outside their local box which is a huge benefit to people employed in the safari industry. Simple as that.

It cracks me up how many Internet fight proposals we've had on AR.

Actually, it's BS. We all talk about uniting as a common friend and front. I'm pretty sure the fruit loops that are solely against lion hunting can get along with the fruit loops solely against roach crunching.

Is it that we all think we are macho men? Alpha dogs? Well, it doesn't make any sense. Burn from within and take us all down...

The safari industry doesn't depend on TV shows to promote their business, in fact I would regard these shows as detrimental, especially in current times.

I'd never have hunted Africa, three times now and planning a fourth trip; were it not for Craig Boddington. He showed how it could/should be done.

What motivated you to go?

If I were moderator of this section, I'd delete this thread - can't see how it's doing AR or the hunting community any good. And, I'm a libertarian and big believer in free speech and exchange of information.

I have to agree. I don't think Fujo is up to speed on the better hunting shows being aired today. Specifically, the African hunting shows today are a HUGE draw for getting hunters interested in Africa. They are exactly what got me off of top dead center to book my first hunt as I had just been dreaming of it most of my adult life up to that point.

Not only that, but in speaking of the Tracks Across Africa show, it is produced by the exclusive booking agents for Chifuti Safaris and features their client hunters! Folks watch the show, see a great outfitter and area to hunt with, book their hunt, have the hunt filmed, appear on the show themselves for others who are still sitting on the fence to make the decision to go, many of whom book their own hunt, with the cycle starting over.

A very smart play if you ask me.

My wife and I met Craig at La Colorada hunting in Argentina wherer he was hunting Red Stag. An everyday nice guy who is a cklass act is who greeted us. I always admired him for rating the hunt but not posting the scores of hs trophies. It is the hunt that is important,the trophy size is a bonus.

I don't know Todd. I have hunted many that simply want to hunt without fanfare or the presence of others.

I don't know Andrew, does your statement apply to ALL of your hunters, or just some? I didn't say ALL of Chifuti's hunters are filmed and appear on the show.

Argue all you want, the guys at Safari Classics have a good business plan with filming SOME of the hunters, the ones that WANT to be filmed and used in the show, thereby creating a very smart way of advertising for their services, which are booking hunts, filming hunts, and producing hunting shows with said filmed hunts ... which in turn, stimulates additional hunts being booked by their services!

Just ask LionHunter (Mike) here on AR. He and his Brother In Law as well as a couple of his friends (Carl) have been on the show. Mike and Carl did a lion hunt awhile back. Next thing you know, Mike's BIL is hunting with them and is on the show. In fact, his episode 1 and 2 were shown in the last 2 weeks here on the Outdoor Channel.

THAT is a fact!

Charl,

I greatly enjoyed your post recounting your first-hand experience hunting with Craig Boddington. Both the serval and the reedbuck are outstanding trophies that were well-taken. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your experience.

I noticed at the SCI Convention that Charl and Craig's hunt was featured in the CZ magazine/catalog as well. I pointed it out to Charl and he was pleased to see it. A couple of great pics of the two of them on the hunt as well. tu2

Good point. However, there is the opposite side which is equally true. How many people on this forum are making character judgments on someone from a brief meeting in an environment where someone is selling something directly or indirectly to the public? How would one expect CB or any other hunting celebrity to act at DSC or SCI? If they were arrogant, rude etc just how many books, DVD's, hunts etc would they sell?

Which really just highlights how the CB issue is simply symptomatic of a broader cultural issue. Today we want to form judgments based on snippets of information. We get our news in sound bites. Information is fed to us in eyedroppers. We rely on messages that are crafted for our consumption without questioning the credibility of the source. Hell, we elected a president for goodness sakes . . . twice . . . with most voters that supported him not even understanding who he was or what he stood for. So it is really not that remarkable that people are prepared to judge a person to be a solid, personable, role-model of a person based on a three minute encounter over a book signing or a twenty minute speech they heard sitting in the audience. The point is, as someone else pointed out on one of these threads, just like the rest of us CB is neither sinner . . . nor saint . . . even if he did smile at you when he signed the book you were purchasing from him.

This is something that I have said for a long time now. We have an electorate that makes its decisions from 30 second sound bites, spin doctors and talking heads. We deserve what we get. Yet we return 85%of incumbents.

Wow, that's a mouth full from someone who has openly bowed at the alter of celebrity on this forum in the past. As far as your "political" observation, when was the last time you didn't vote "straight party"? No reply necessary, lemming.

I'm not much of a celebrity follower; in fact I don't like to watch anyone else do anything, such as watch professional games. The only comment I'll make is that I don't like celebrities getting special consideration such as hunts on the NRA Whittington center. I believe that NRA has been guilty of letting celebrities hunt without giving regular members a shot at the hunts.
