    Guide Outfitters rep makes a fool of himself

    Heard someone from the Guide Outfitters today on the CBC protesting the end of trophy grizzly hunting. He made some reasonable points then pissed all over himself claiming that " a lot of deer hunters like to collect the trophy horns ".

    Here's a guy supposedly representing the hunting industry in BC and he doesn't know the difference between horns and antlers.

    Just give him a red nose and some big shoes !!

    I've heard the word "horns" applied to moose, elk, caribou and deer a lot more than the word "antlers".
    There must be a lot of us dumb shits out there.

    It's a good thing he is representing the guides. An asinine statement like, "" a lot of deer hunters like to collect the trophy horns "" is certainly not beneficial to the guides nor is it helpful to the resident.

    But what about the mention in the synopsis where it states Antlers must accompany.
    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check
    Made payable for an amount of 'up to
    and including my life'. That is Honor, and there are way too many people
    in This country who no longer understand it.'

    Re: Guide Outfitters rep makes a fool of himself

    What a bone headed move for an entirely different reason. The general public does not like trophy hunting and that is the idea that a hunter is killing exclusively for the trophy. Even a lot of hunters dislike trophy hunting. On the ladder of social acceptance trophy hunting is about one rung up from dog fighting. Yet almost everybody is good with the idea of subsistence hunting and meat hunting is a rung below that. If you want to present a trophy hunt in a good light to the public then you must bring it into the realm of a meat hunt or it is DOA. But there is absolutely no gain equating a meat hunt with a trophy hunt. That just gives more fuel for opponents of hunting in general.
