Arizonabeagle, comments like yours crack me up. Spoken like a weekend warrior that dreams of one day earning a living doing what he loves. What better way to make a living following the sound of your hounds!!!

You hit the nail on the head right there!!!

Roy keep up the pictures and the stories. Sure do like em. Your pictures are in good taste. Wonder how many of these High and Mighty houndsmen have ever used a caged coon to get their dogs started. Wouldn't even bother to respond to these guys who would rather publically address an issue then do it privately. Would love to see some more dog pictures. Especially some on a tree.

This is my last post on this topic...likely on this forum..
Just take a minute to think things over without a new comment.
Look at the consiquences for some of the actions and reactions here.
First, until those so eager to stand up for this Roy Sparks guy, how many of you have hunted Africa with hounds and or been on Safari there ????
Likey very few if any of you...
I have been there, hunted and conducted hunting trips in Africa for close to 30 years back when Zimbabwe was Rhodeisa during the bush wars .
I'm not jelious in the least, I have had an amazing career and have seen how it has been getting more attention from the antis when this type of activity gets into the hands of those that want to close all hunting down not just hound hunting.
Let me remind all of those who have not seen the light yet...
Namibia a country that is very dependent upon tourisum and hunting dollars for it's economy closed the hunting of leopard with hounds last season... Calif. Oregon, Montana and others have also closed hound hunting on one or more animals for various reasons.
Why?????
If your not listening you'll likely see it here in the US sooner than you want.
Like I said I am about finished with my hunting career , ready to take up golf but there are alot of you guys out there that have alot to loose and if you don't open your eyes they WILL blind side you and not look back in their efforts to continue.
I have emailed Roy Sparks ,I know and have hunted with African PH's who detest this guy for the very reason he is on this forum...
It may be in your best interest to find out just who guys like Roy Sparks truly are before you go to bat for them.
Good Luck to all of you, and I hope I never have to return to this fourm to say "I told you so".

Any pictures that depict anything illegal SHOULD NOT be posted on this forum or any where else. Also pictures of your dogs killing an animal or chewing on it should not be posted. I don't think anyone disagrees with these statement. A personal attack however on someone should be delt with privately and not in a public forum unless it is the cage. My other problem with your post was attacking him for making money off of hunting. There is nothing wrong with that. Nor do I have a problem with a caged hunt. It is no different in my opinion than killing an animal at a slaughter house. No it isnt hunting but if someone wants to do it go ahead. I do enjoy looking at Mr. Sparks dog pictures and stand by that statement. Any illegal activities no.

They were posted by another person who has a vested interest with one of his most ardent attackers. How this went so far without someone calling bullshi#, I don't know. Were the pictures posted as a part of some agenda? Maybe....

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that I posted the pic. Roy Sparks has sent me pics to post in the past, as he doesn't know how to do it himself. I thought this was no different. I know nothing of African Hunting Politics or laws, other than Africans are the ones who invented the high fence hunt in the first place. What makes a high fence lion hunt any different than any other high fence hunt? Oh yeh, he's the king of the jungle, right? Aint that just warm and fuzzy. You Prima Donna's need to get off your soap box and either end all high fence hunting period, or join hands and sing Koombaya.

Let me clear one thing up right here and now - The only three people that walk the face of planet earth, that I have any amount of "vested interest" in is my Son, Daughter and Wife...period. I certainly have no vested interest in this attacker, whoever it may be.

The agenda was plain and simple, I thought someone wanted to share a monumental feat that most houndsmen will only dream about. Please refresh my feeble memory, but do to the current "economic downturn", I have become confused, is it "guilty until proven innocent" or "innocent until proven guilty"? Americans have been talking out of both sides of their face for so long I can't seem to remember. But then again I am sure all the "Judge Judy's" on here can render their expert opinions.
