What I see as negligent is passing judgement on a happening where none of us were there, and the PH himself said there was no blame to be attached to BB at all. Besides we are not sure "WHO" actually shot the handeler!

Kangaroo courts seldom get the right guy! I say there isn't a swinging d!(k here who knows what he would do in that 2.5 seconds! I agree with the poster who said GLASS HOUSES..........




I agree for the most part, except if you enter the fray to defend her actions, you too are "passing judgment on a happening where none of us are there", you just happen to be making a different judgement than those with whom you disagree.

Indeed, we will never know. May God heal Punky and, I suppose, anyone else who might be effected by the day's event.




The fact is I never said she was not to blame, in fact I don't know who was to blame! What I am saying is you don't know either, and the only judgement that counts are the ones made by the people who were there. Nobody else has the facts, or knows the circumstances in that very unfortunate happening. Again I say nobody here knows what they would have done in the same sittuation. To make a public judgement on this afaire without being there, as a witness, is holding Kangaroo court! No other way to say it!

Respectfully, also.

If this is a kangaroo court, they are by their own hand, the kangaroo defendants and kangaroo witnesses.

Nobody forced them to print their statements in the other place. They did so as Mr Boddington points out, to protect their public image in advance of any potential adverse comment.

I find it inconceivable that anybody who works in the media could not have predicted that those statements would be examined and commented on.

Is anybody seriously suggesting that we just take the statement of the PH at face value. I do not know the man, he may very well be telling the truth as he saw it.

However as PH's have a history of protecting their clients, ranging from their sexual preferences, to their mistresses that arrive a day later, to their drinking, lack of ability, canned hunts etc etc, why in the name of all that is holy, does anybody think that anybody else has to believe him.

If the principle participants are being judged now then it is exactly because of the PR spin that has been attempted.

A simple statement of

"I want people to know before the rumour mill starts, that I fucked up and hurt a man terribly. I will do my best to make amends to him for this terrible accident"

Would have earned the girl in question a lot of brownie points.

The PR exercise and well off people begging for money, is IMO shameful.

Here is a nice video of a leopard attacking a client. The PH yells for the client to try to get clear, and the PH holds his fire until he is sure he will not hit the client.

...on second thought...

If the fund for his recovery is for real, it is a bunch of bullshit.

She shot him and his recovery is her responsibility, not the responsibility of her "fans", fans who do not and cannot know the truth of this matter.

The establishment of a public relief fund for the indemnification of an individual injured during a commercial enterprise, as a result of admitted negligence by a person who happens to be the daughter of the world's most reknowed gunwriter and thus able to play on the name of said gunwriter is absolute rank cynicism of the lowest order and to be honest, it makes me a bit sick.

"I shot a guy and I want you to pay for it".

And Brig Gen. C. Boddington, Ret. OK's this? Or did he demand it? Is Brittany his dependent and thus he is somewhat on the hook for it? Just what is "near full recovery"? Is the business they are engaged in insured? If not, why not?

Oh, yes, this starts a whole new series of questions, but since I'll never know the truth of the answers, I'm done with this one.




My goodness, and just when I was gaining respect for you.

Well, it is a country that for now still allows free speech.

Really, you can make these assessments ?;
-when everyday in this country, this fund or that fund ,no matter how ridiculous implores us to contribute to something for someone we know nothing of, and know nothing of how their condition occurred. Such as , Please help so and so get a transplant, never mind that they, drank,or drugged themselves to this point.

Here we have a legitimate innocent in need and you condem the request?


So--, its OK if a plaintiff lawyer convinces 6 or 12 uniformed bleeding hearts that , someone should get everything you own for a car collision with someone else, you or your child had?

And before you reach for the apples and oranges, this IS exactly the same.

I have never met Brittany, I am not a "fan", I AM a hunter , a sojourner, a person that has and
will make mistakes.

Some of which have in the past been costly, some by the grace of God were not.

I firmly believe that "THERE BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD GO I"" in this situation --OR WORSE.

Perhaps you (in the collective) who choose to continue this Salem-esque crusade are FAR more perfect and worthy than I.

I assume I must in someway acquiesce to your perfect wisdom, I just being MORTAL , still fail to comprehend, please forgive me.

Glass Houses ,Stones etc.

I can certainly understand this difference of opinion, and in the future I want to hunt with dugaboy because if I inadvertently shoot him, he will not mind!




"Inadvertently" attempting to remove a leopard, lion, etc from yours truly--you are correct,
lets go hunt and stop with this witch-hunt.

Free speech has nothing to do with bad business.

Are you serious?

This whole carnival of personal expose is a most obvious and shameless ploy to dodge the affects of one's own bad business.

And that is exactly what it is.

A commercial enterprise gone bad.

This is not the mistake of a helpless 19-year-old trapped in Deepest Darkest.

This is the screwup of a Father and Daughter travelling team, a business raw and certain, and if you want to give your money to their fund, dig deep and come out slow.

As for myself, I will continue to give to the charities of my choice.

The Retirement Protection Fun of Brigadier General Craig Boddington is not one of them.


So, its OK if a plaintiff lawyer convinces 6 or 12 uniformed bleeding hearts that , someone should get everything you own for a car collision with someone else, you or your child had?

And before you reach for the apples and oranges, this IS exactly the same.

That IS exactly the point. They {Dad and Daughter} had every opportunity to protect their assets before they went into the writing racket together. And they have every responsiblity to indemnify the injured man. They are running a business.

Next time you give benefit money to a surgeon who sews up a hemostat inside a gall bladder patient be sure to let us all know.


Perhaps you (in the collective) who choose to continue this Salem-esque crusade ar FAR more perfect and worthy than I.

Worthiness has nothing to do with it. This hero galavants around the world writing articles and getting paid for it. He has introduced his daughter to the family biz and now she's at it, too. So far, so good. Now she shoots a guy. Mistakes happen. Just like every other businessman, sorry, businessgirl, she needs to get with it and take care of her issues. I am astounded that these charlatans have scammed you into believing she slipped on a ballistic banana peel and now she needs help. This is an outrage, a shameless, puking outrage.

I assume I must in someway acquiesce to your perfect wisdom, I just being MORTAL , still fail to comprehend, please forgive me.

No perfect wisdom involved, just common sense. When you enter the business world, you count the cost. This guy wants to have his cake and eat it too.

And, I might add, in a most disagreeable manner, too.

He gets right out there to let the whole world know this is HER "incident". There ya go, Daddy, throw your kid to the wolves. Make certain sure the whole world knows you had nothing to do with any of it.

I have never much liked Brig Gen Boddington as writer, and now, frankly, I don't think much of him as a man, either.

I would love to hear that this whole thing is a made-up internet joke. I'd love to be one of the many who got the wool pulled over their eyes. But alas, I suspect it is true.

Well I think it is time to close the thread.

I certainly won't be contributing to the "Punki fund" as it is the responsibility of BB herself to fund those bills if she decides she should, or as a court or settlement otherwise decides. The reading public is not in any way responsible.

HOWEVER if other people want to contribute that is their business and not mine or anyone else.

The rehashing of the same statements is going on in circles and picking on small details in isolation with sometimes the answer even in the same sentence.

Also I could have predicted some on either side would come forward with preconceived opinions.

Everyone has had a say, and it is now going around in circles.

When some real NEW information comes forward we can always re-open the thread.

An incident of accidentally shooting someone during a hunt which I hope never happens to any of us.
