You lost me Grizz, I never mentioned SCI. I was talking about elephant hunting.

I want to hear Craig Boddington talk about conservation in Africa.
There are a few tables left.

Right ...... I'd rather go to the Yukon or NFLD and hunt moose.

Don’t bid then.

Not shooting elephants does more harm then good in the long run.

I would love to do this hunt and plan on doing it one day.

So what's your point?

It's a biased report about some antihunters squawking.

You can sit on your hands continuing with the status quo, watching hunting opportunities slowly diminish here and abroad, or you can push back and try to expand hunting opportunities here and abroad. Being timid and hoping that if you are wery, wery quiet, the antis will leave your hunting alone is very short sighted.

If you and your club want to have a an old boys dinner party go ahead.

Won't be the first time I get heckled by some crazy cat ladies as I walk into the show.

You're seriously blaming SCI Calgary for this?

Heres a Calgary story - has the complainers but a lot more context.

Well they caved and canceled the elephant hunt auction
Due to backlash. The hunt will still happen but it will be sold privately apparently.
