Many visitors strolling the Allegheny Sport, Travel & Outdoor Show over the weekend came across a booth featuring a video in which men wielding paintball guns stalked nude women in the woods.

The organizer of the annual show held at the Pittsburgh Expo Mart in Monroeville this past weekend said that though only four of the 80,000 or so people who attended complained about "Hunting for Bambi," the exhibitor will not be invited back next year.

Chris Fassnacht said yesterday that had he known about the legal problems of Michael Burdick, founder of Real Men Outdoor Productions, he would not have included him in the show in the first place.

Burdick sells "Hunting for Bambi" videotapes and DVDs depicting paintball "hunts" of naked women. In the booth yesterday, he was showing a tape that included news broadcasts about his enterprise, as well as excerpts of the film in which the women's breasts are digitally blurred.

He outraged people across the country last year when news outlets reported that he offered such hunting expeditions in Las Vegas for $10,000.

Burdick later admitted to Las Vegas officials, however, that no real Bambi hunts had been conducted there and that the advertising of them was just a ploy to sell the videotapes.

He has pleaded not guilty to charges of operating a business in Las Vegas without a license.

Fassnacht, president and chief executive officer of Expositions Inc., which has organized the sports show for 19 years, said he thought that in addition to selling the videos, Burdick was offering chances to win a Bambi paintball hunt in Nevada.

Fassnacht, who had not seen the video, initially said he would review it to determine whether Burdick would be asked to return next year, but after learning yesterday of Burdick's legal problems in Las Vegas, Fassnacht said he would not be asked back.

"Nobody's welcome in our show if they're doing things that are illegal," Fassnacht said. "That's something we don't want to have anybody get taken with."

Burdick said nothing about offering trips while manning his booth yesterday. In addition to the $15 videos, he sold hats and T-shirts that read: "Hunting for Bambi."

"If you think about it, what I'm providing is an adult comedy of hunting," he said.

The promotional video playing nonstop in Burdick's booth included segments of news broadcasts reporting on the supposed Bambi hunts, as well as scenes from the Bambi video of nude women frolicking through the woods, kneeling by a stream and being displayed as hunting trophies.

"The reason they're naked is deer don't wear Levis out in the woods," Burdick said.

Asked if he felt the video promoted violence against women, he said, "absolutely not."

Lisa Benner, of Harrisburg, who attended the show Friday with her husband and three young sons, did not agree. She said Burdick told her it was all good, clean fun when her sons wandered by from the booth next door.

"I said, 'I don't think so,' " Benner said. She said she asked to speak to a show organizer but left after waiting about 10 minutes.

"Next year, we won't come back to this because of that type of thing," Benner said. "It's not quite right."

Benner later contacted the Center for Victims of Violent Crimes, which in turn called the show's organizers.

"We felt it was inappropriate to have that kind of vendor there," said Tracey Provident, the center's director of operations and programs.

Many of yesterday's passersby, who grinned and pointed at the television screen, seemed to agree with Burdick that the tapes were entertaining.

"I think it's great," said Ken Rocco, of Butler. "You can enjoy hunting and women at the same time."

Marcia Reese, of Mount Oliver said, "I think it's a personal choice. If you don't want to see it, don't buy it."

Rachelle Vavrek, of Uniontown, said she didn't see anything wrong with the videotape.

"I see worse stuff than that on TV," she said.

Lionel Greenawalt, whose furniture booth was directly across from Burdick, said he felt the videotape was "very degrading to women."

He said he didn't think such a videotape should be sold at a family-oriented show.

"There's other places they could sell that," Greenawalt said. "I don't think it's proper here."

Exhibitor Brad Bowser, of Loysburg, Bedford County, whose booth was near Burdick's, said an aisle with unrestricted access was probably not the best place for such a display. He said the booth should have been enclosed and marked for those 18 and older.
