Ah, but you're talking mono a mono. I'd guess you agree with me that with 4 peers at least as capable as you (i.e., in this scenario* also black belts in TKD), your party could take any land animal on your list, and reasonably safely too armed only with batons and no armor. Is that right?Teramotos wrote:...I don't think I'd have a chance against anything on the list except maybe (and I stress maybe) the Timber Wolf.

No one's taking the opposing position. "Any" includes a hell of a lot of non-combatant speds. I'm talking about a handpicked coed group that is trained in stick fighting.Teramotos wrote:...I'm taking the position that not just any five people armed with clubs can easily kill any animal on the list without unreasonable risk of death or serious injury.

...had lunch with Brad and he took the position that five humans armed
with metal police batons could (easily?) take down any large animal and
that we could do this within the law and it could be very, very,
profitable to do so.
Yep, and I asked Brad if he was copying the arenas from Rome and Ross asked Brad if he had seen the movie Gladiator.Chris wrote: Basically the same thing as the Gladiator combats of Rome.
Yep, I agree with Chris 100% on this. Five experts with batons are not going to be able to take out a 1,000 lb + animal, especially a Grizzly Bear, w/o multiple members of the team getting killed or seriously injured.Chris wrote: In the case of Bears, Moose, and Elk several of your people would be critically injured or dead before they called the fight in favor of the animal.
Yeah, I guess that is what I've been trying to say but in my own nature, I need 10x more words than everyone else.Chris wrote: Sorry Brad just a bad idea in general.
The animals won't win. It's a competition of 4 teams of 20. The 'reality show'-esque part is the early stages of the tournament where everyone in the 4 teams spar against each other to determine which final 5 from each team gets to represent them on the hunt. It'll be 5 person teams of tournament champion finalists from each team. All the teams will return with prize in tow. It'll really only seem dangerous.Krystoff wrote:...And even in the ones where the animals actually won...

Ross wrote:...Alternatively you can produce the show yourself on a local cable channel and hope it catches on by word of mouth. It's possible it might be picked up by a network.

Teramotos wrote:A cougar has sharp claws and I'm taking the position that there is a high risk of one or more of the human attackers getting clawed and seriously injured...
Teramotos wrote:...My point is, combat, especially in dire situations, has a significant element of chance and it would be very difficult to design a senario where all factors are controlled to the degree where the humans always beat up and kill the animal w/o significant risk of serious injury...
Teramotos wrote:...I can also easily imagine a baton swing and the attacker falling on loose dirt and then being pounced upon. Okay, and you can also hit the cougar as it is moving in; but you don't hit it in a vital place or it's a glancing blow and then the cat is inside your reach and I don't like the odds of fists against claws...
Teramotos wrote:...Conversely, what would the ramifications be once human participants started getting seriously injured or even killed? Would third parties begin to enforce some kind of regulations on these hunts (assuming that the initial one ever happened in the first place)?...
