Craig Boddington on Fox and Friends Sunday

I heard (was listening on sattelite radio) Craig Boddington interviewed on Fox and Friends Sunday morning by Tucker Carlson, discussing the social media firestorm over the facebook posts of one young woman in TX who enjoys big game hunting in Africa. The gist of Craig’s message was that safari hunting brings in a lot of revenue to these African nations which is used to support conservation, and that legal hunting provides the most effective, and motivated effort to preserve the species being hunted. I thought it was a well reasoned argument, although I’m under no illusions that opponents of hunting will be convinced.

Though not much a part of this discussion as I recall, I do think it’s ironic that opponents of this girl hunting are wishing violence upon her. How is that for tolerance?

The one thing I was waiting for in the interview sadly was not brought up. I really thought Mr. Boddington would find a way to insert a “shoulder thing that goes up” into the dialogue. In the unlikely event that I am interviewed by Tucker Carlson, I will mention that no matter what the topic!

hope the link works.

in summary, back several years ago while working for MSNBC, Tucker Carlson was interviewing US Rep Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), and she was talking about the strict gun control bill she had introduced in the house (she did this every session.... and i think exactly zero of them ever made it out of committee). Anyway, he asks about a specific measure in the bill, one which prohibits barrel shrouds: she gives a hem-haw kind of reply to this, and then he comes out and asks her what exactly is a barrel shroud. her answer is that it is "a shoulder thing that goes up"... to which he replies, "no, it's not."

Nancy Pelosi says of the ACA back in 2009 that "we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it".... well, Ms. McCarthy actually introduced a bill that she didn't know what was in it! so now I can't see Tucker Carlson on TV without thinking of that funny episode.

i figured more folks would catch on.... i see that "sholder thing" quote thrown around quite a bit here.
 
and now if you google "Barrel shroud", the youtube video is the 2nd link that shows up (after wikipedia). :)

"Ok I'm gonna explain for the 53567544th time. The rhino was a green hunt, meaning it was darted and immobilized in order to draw blood for testing, DNA profiling, microchip ping the horn and treating a massive leg injury most likely caused by lions. People try to say that lions will not attack a hippo, rhino or elephant, quiet the contrary. Lions attack and kill the young of these species. The adults try to fight the lions off and are regularly successful, but do get injuries in the process. As for the lion that I shot with my bow, it was within a 45,000 acre fence with other lions and plains game. It's in S Africa, so yes it was within a fence, but 45,000 acres is the equivalent to 70 square miles and considered fair chase. Lions that have come in and taken over a pride, not only kick the older lion out, but will also kill all of his cubs so that the lioness will come into heat again. Controlling the male lion population is important within large fenced areas like these in order to make sure the cubs have a high survival rate. Funds from a hunt like this goes partially to the government for permits but also to the farm owner as an incentive to keep and raise lions on their property. If there was no value, the farmers would kill all of the lions to have a higher survival and breeding rate in their plains game populations. Lions take a toll on plains game, thus farmers need money to purchase plains game and change out bloodlines within their lion prides to prevent interbreeding. Now to the leopard, this was a free ranging leopard in Zimbabwe on communal land. The money for the permit goes to the communal council and to their village people. Within this area of approximately 250,000 acres, 107 head of cattle was killed in a single year due to leopard kills. Leopard populations have to be controlled in certain areas. So yes, my efforts do go to conservation efforts and are all fair chase, not canned hunts. In fact these are very mentally and physically challenging hunts, on foot tracking and walking miles and miles a day."
