Naked women hunted with paintball guns by camo-clad cads



It's a new form of adult entertainment, and men are paying thousands of dollars to shoot naked women with paint ball guns. They're coming to Las Vegas to do it. This bizarre new sport has captured the attention of people around the world.
"I've done this three times," says Nicole, one of the three women allowing themselves to be shot at. Two other women, Gidget and Skyler, claim they have done this seven times.
Hunting for Bambi is the brainchild of Michael Burdick. Men pay anywhere from $5000 to $10,000 for the chance to come to the middle of the desert to shoot what they call "Bambis" with a paint ball gun. Burdick says men have come from as far away as Germany. The men get a video tape of their hunt to take home and show their friends.
Burdick says hunters are told not to shoot any woman above the chest, but he admits not all hunters follow the rules. "The main goal is to be as true to nature as possible. I don't go deer hunting and see a deer with a football helmet on so I don't want to see one on my girl either," said Burdick.
So why does a woman agree to strip down and run around the desert dodging paint balls? Nicole says it's good money. "I mean it's $2,500 if you don't get hit. You try desperately not to and it's $1000 if you do," said Nicole.
The men and women say this is all good, clean fun, but in Part 2 of this special report, reporter LuAnne Sorrell speaks with a psychologist who says for some men playing out this sexual aggression may lead to other more violent acts against women.

Although there is talk that this is all a PR stunt to promote a sleazy video the idea has its roots in a classic short story by Richard Connell called "The Most Dangerous Game". It also appears in testimony from alleged mind-control victims who say they were used for sport in this way with the hunters being members of the upper crust.
One of alleged mind-control victim Cathy O'Brien's more vivid tales involves Dick Cheney while he was Chief of Staff for President Gerald Ford.
Cathy described Cheney's participation in human hunts inspired by Connell's book.
According to O'Brien, Cheney would hunt CIA sex slaves, which included herself, on private property. When he would catch his prey, he would sexually violate the victims as celebration.
