I live in Las Vegas. Last night on Ch 8 news they had a spot about about it. It appears to be real, and there are people who are really pissed about it. About having sex with her after the girl is shot, it was kinda implied on the news. They won’t disclose that on the news, however. I have no idea why anyone would want to do this. It’s pretty disturbing, I think. ---

Another thread in the PIT. Yes, the videos are real, but the hunts are not. The whole “hunt” thing is a advertising ploy to sell the videos- and apparently it has at the very least given them LOTS of publicity. You can buy the video, but you can’t buy the hunt. ---

At the risk of being repetitive this is one fetish/fantasy I just cant wrap my brain around, and trust me, I have some doozies. Sick. ---

I saw the news clip and it looked real to me. The ladies get $1000 if they get shot and $2500 if they don’t. Think of it as an incentive. I didn’t get the impression that sex was involved. There was a quip about mounting the trophy but when a friend mounts a fish I don’t think of that as sexual either. I don’t know how I feel about it. One the one hand it sounds like fun. On the other shooting naked women is somehow disturbing. I’ll just keep my $5000 and not have to face the situation.
