Sorry, but this guy is not a "hunter." He's a rich spoiled jerk who downed a Bison on a canned hunt... and I love his justification at the end.
Just another good ole boy from Texas who got an appointment from this administration and didn't play by the rules. To be fair though, it's not that big a deal.
Two things: First, this is another example of a canned hunt... which I can't stand and which gives real hunters a bad name. The biggest practitioner of this seems to be the VP. Second, another example of a Bush administration official acting in a way that shows a sense of entitlement and betrays the basic mission of the job to which he's been appointed. So, yeah, I think it does deserve a thread.
Ain't that the truth...I am an avid hunter and wildlife conservationist and would LOVE to have a freezer full Bison meat. However, there isn't much challenge in harvesting one unless with a Bow or a replica Black-Powder rifle.
We all know that you catch bison with your bare hands all the time, but when Treasures is your hunting ground, all you need is a credit card.
It's the "official" huntin of Texas. Go to a farm, pay them to release the animal of your choice, chase it around an enclosure until you can kill it with your assult rifle...
They're not wild, they're essentially livestock. Not much different than hauling a steer to the locker plant. I didn't see anyone in the report acting like this was any kind of "hunt", sounds to me like he & his buddies wanted some (ugly) house decorations.
Nobody plays the boogie woogie like Canned Hunt. First album in 1969, but they're still goin' strong!
I experienced Canned Hunt and Vanilla Fudge in '68. Talk about a mystery meal! I had eaten of them before, but not together. Most strange. Fleetwood Mac, with Peter Green, was the main course. Yummy! Keep D&D Civil.
Hmmmmm. I do find American partisanship amusing. Why the need to use the title "Bush official?" Smith can't a bison on his own accord?
