Just classic.

Ignore what a poster says, then attack them for something they didn't say but which you present as them 'actuallymeaning'...

What if Theo and Honest had a racket going ?

4 collared lions killed on Theo's farm this year so far. Wouldn't that raise red flags somewhere ?
Palmer has done this before too - illegal hunt (see conviction related to killing bear).

I once "hunted" creatures over bait. The critters were rats at a local open dump and there was never any shortage of targets. It was more like extermination than anything else but provided a lot of target practice. "Hunting" over bait is not hunting. It is an execution and beneath contempt.

Teddy N can say anything he wants but if he offends he can expect to be criticized.

Go ahead, right here and now, tell everyone you don't use the same tactic. When did you leave the kettle club?

That's what I was wondering. When I was growing up, anyone who hunted over bait was considered one step above being a poacher and thus about the level as chewing gum on the bottom of a shoe. The view was if you had to lure an animal to you with food instead of skillfully calling it in or killing it while it was going about its normal business, you were a lousy sportsman and not a real hunter.

When did it suddenly become acceptable to hunt for sport over bait?

That takes any notion of "sport" out of it.

BTW, Zimbabwe has asked for his extradition. But the scaredy cat rich man is in hiding.
He's not hiding from Zimbabwe officials. He's hiding from crazy Americans.

And did you know that 4 collared lions were killed on Honest's farm this year so far ?
And Honest, who has close ties to local government officials, has not been charged.

Are you really that ignorant of what you posted? Did you even read it? Here, since you obviously can't seem to figure it out:

"In a news conference Friday, Zimbabwe Environment Minister Oppah Muchinguri referred to 55-year-old Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer as a "foreign poacher" and said she understood that the prosecutor general had started the process to have him extradited from the United States."


What does "had started" mean to you? Completed? Perhaps that is how you explain how you work? "Oh, I started it so I must have done it hee haw haw..." (then a belly slap).

There is no extradition. A press release is not an extradition request. My goodness, are there really people so daft out there? Just a question because people who don't even bother to read what they cite as source surely can't be taken seriously.

Duh.

And all of a sudden none have permits.

I'm sure Zimbabwe would love for all these rich hunters to go back here and face the judge, pay their "fines" and then be allowed to go home.
You bet.

Like I said, all the dirty laundry comes out. We should make a list of names of those washing the dirty clothes. The thread is full of them.
