If ONLY they would hunt each other Ferrets are Cool Jun 2021 #1
"Hunger Games" would never work in Texas: ret5hd Jun 2021 #2
Seems like a tremendous number of exotic animals killed. [From the numbers]. empedocles Jun 2021 #3
So These People Have So Much Money Me. Jun 2021 #4
actually the boars are invasive exotics Kali Jun 2021 #5
Quite so, but we want to stay somewhere nice on site and have the staff do all the real work. Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #6
I hear that... Kali Jun 2021 #9
This activity needs to end, right away. 2naSalit Jun 2021 #7
Why? Per Texas law, one cannot hunt endangered or even threatened species. Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #8
Why? Kali Jun 2021 #11
It doesn't appear to me that the poster is opposed to boar hunting, but rather exotic animal hunting Ferrets are Cool Jun 2021 #21
you could be right Kali Jun 2021 #24
I think it's worth pointing out that none of these species are endangered or threatened. Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #25
do I remember correctly that the Arabian Ibex was recovered from endangered status Kali Jun 2021 #26
Arabian Oryx. Quite the success story! Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #27
oryx, of course Kali Jun 2021 #28
And? Who in their right mind would PAY to go out and kill a Ferrets are Cool Jun 2021 #32
I have no particular desire to do so, but as long as the animal isn't endangered or threatened and Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #34

Good on you. Wild boar are a huge problem. Phoenix61 Jun 2021 #12

I can't fathom the mind of a person who would pay good money to go to a Texas petting zoo to kill Martin68 Jun 2021 #14
The hunts featured in this video seem to be free range and fair chase, Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #16
"Fair chase." I don't know why the definition of that is, but I suspect there's very little about Martin68 Jun 2021 #19
Here's the definition, per Wikipedia: Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #20
The definition is not grounded in either science or ethics. It is a self-serving excuse to Martin68 Jun 2021 #31
Actually, "fair chase" is a registered trademark of the Boone & Crockett Club. Be that as it may, Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #35
I suspect the prohibition of the use of vehicles . . . markpkessinger Jun 2021 #37
You don't quite understand. Hunters don't jump into their vehicles to catch up with their dogs. They Martin68 Jun 2021 #39
I understand this perfectly well . . . markpkessinger Jul 2021 #46
mark, you seem to have very legalistic point of view. Some of us are more interested in ethics and Martin68 Jul 2021 #47
You take the word for these places as "fair chase", fair chase is still enclosed and MerryBlooms Jun 2021 #40
There is, from what I've read, a real difference between the sorts of hunts described in the video Dial H For Hero Jul 2021 #43
Fair chase in my mind would be to take them on in hand to hoof/claw combat. Ferrets are Cool Jun 2021 #22
We've been using ranged projectiles to hunt animals for at least 30,000 years. Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #23
Of course we are not. I'm just saying what would be "FAIR" to both parties. Ferrets are Cool Jun 2021 #33
Fair chase rules are designed to make it more challenging as is appropriate for a sporting activity. Dial H For Hero Jun 2021 #36
Killing animals for sport and ego is not appropriate. MerryBlooms Jun 2021 #41
Then don't do so. Problem solved. Dial H For Hero Jul 2021 #44

Indeed. MerryBlooms Jun 2021 #42
