Hunters in general are their own worst enemy. In the predator hunting field they let people in the predator hunting industry tell them how and what to think. These people will do everything they can to discredit a person they think may stand in the way of their profit margin, or claim to fame. The term to "chase a man to hell and back for a buck" applies here. The only thing you have in this world is self respect, so keep it, don't be lead down the garden path by some super salesman selling you a pile of worthless shit.
The Internet is overloaded with predator hunting websites, most are for profit and some of the ones that say their not, ARE. Skimming is nothing new. They think as long as the IRS says its OK then it must be OK. I say let your conscience be your guide, if you feel stealing is OK then by all means steal what you can before you are found out by the people you are stealing it from. There are predator hunters that will never get "it" when it comes to who the bullshit artists are.
Websites: No one actually knows how many websites are hunting sites. Best guess is they number in the thousands. Why would anyone want one if there are so many. The answer may be as simple as greed. They think if they can get enough members, they can sell advertising based on the "hits" and/or the number of members they claim they have. One site in particular comes to mind. They claim to their advertisers they have tens of thousands of members, when in fact they have well less than a thousand. Why would they lie, simple, greed they want more money. Running a 500 active member website requires a good deal of time, why would anyone do it for free, believe me if they do, they are just plain stupid as someone is gleaming a good profit from a site that sells advertising or so called sponsorships.
