Sure I can. I just did. And I stand by it. Bow hunters are douchebags because they hunt with bows. BMW drivers may or may not be a-holes, agreed. But you’ve got to be pretty inhumane to even consider hunting with a bow, therefore: douchebag.
Follow up: there’s a fatal flaw in that study that makes it not relevant to general bow-hunting, modern equipment or not:
Bowhunters passed the International Bowhunter Education Program, and an annual pre-season shooting proficiency test.
When bow-hunting proficiency tests are required for hunting licenses, then the study will have merit. Until then, when any John Q. Microdick can decide he’s a bow hunter, that study is (mostly) irrelevant.
“Self-absorbed sadistic monster” just doesn’t have the same ring.

I’ll do this backwards for your benefit:
A trophy hunter is a trophy hunter is a trophy hunter and I care for them not a single bit. Is this thread commenting on the multitudes of big game animals that are killed every year by wealthy westerner fuckholes? Well golly, it is, as you’ll notice a previous comment I made to that point. But those goalposts, they are a movin’, amirite?
Oh noes! The rampant Cape Buffalo that is the scourge of big game hunters! What will we all do?

I am not sure what the laws are in all states, but most of them have to pass a hunters safety course in order to get a hunting license. Though I don’t know if all of them have shooting tests or not.
target shooting is practice for when things get real.

Strip trophy hunting out and watch what happens, you going to pay taxes for conservation? I find it funny how people can fault a person for actually paying for what he does and over paying to do it. That money for the tag $50k went to conservation. How much do those tourist pay to get into the refuge?
You ignorance or in this case incompetence since you are so confident in this issue is showing. Here go to animal planet and watch when animals attack. Maybe watch some old Mutual of Omaha videos.

Big man makes funny jokes and wants to be taken serious in a discussion. Riddle me this shoot one hand off with a shot gun and slice the other off with a razor and tell me which one hurt worse. You don’t even understand the basic principles of the weapons hunters use. I might be a hunter but at least I educated myself on the means to harvest my wildlife.

Yes, of course! The more the merrier, as far as I’m concerned - it’s one of the few tax-funded activities that I, and most folk I know, can completely get behind.
Are you not?

Mod note: it’s getting overly snarky in here. Cool it.

You say this but everytime it comes up to be something to tax, at least in my state, doesn’t even make the general assembly. Heck, PETA won’t even say a peep to support a tax increase to fund fish and wildlife agencies. But they will be the first to sue creating further strain on the agency set to protect animals.

That’s a mighty big assumption there! You sound defensive, as if I was against hunting, but if you’ll read this thread carefully I think you’ll see that I’m not. I’m very much opposed to needless suffering, however, especially when it’s big-game trophy hunters who are hunting for no other reason than sport.
Either that makes no sense, or you’re replying to someone else. Where did I say anything about harvesting?
Emmanuel Fundira, the head of Zimbabwe’s safari industry association, said the payment of a bribe was likely to have happened. “There had to be,” Mr Fundira told American newspaper the Star Tribune. “The documents which they used for carrying out the hunt were all illegal and fraudulently obtained.”
So maybe not.
Overpaying? How much should it cost?
Not sure what your point is here. When I hunted and fished, I purchased the proper permits, paid for the pleasure of doing so. Gutted, cleaned, field-dressed the animals I shot or caught and ate them, too. Do I still need to watch the videos?

I was merely agreeing with @Mister44 that not all BMW drivers are a-holes. Way to blow things out of proportion. Given an approximate ratio of 50/50 in the phrase “may or may not”, you could have chosen whichever side of that line you wanted to be on. Which side you choose to self-identify with is on you.
In any case, if you were paying attention to the guy in your avatar, you would know that BMW drivers are cocks, not a-holes.
(And for the record, I own a BMW motorcycle).
sigh
so 50/50 owners of a thing are assholes.
(and if i was paying attention to the guy in my avatar, bmw owners are boring business people).
just please don’t do “if you own A you are X”. or if “you do B you are Zed” 
(oh, and bmw cycles are awesome, aren’t they)

No, but that’s as much granularity as you can extract from the phrase “may or may not”.
EDIT: In the moments just before this clip, James and Jeremy were discussing the fact that BMW drivers were tired of being seen as cocks, so they are now driving Audis. So you might be off the hook after all.
