If you are a member of the state Anti-Gun taskforce, yep.

See, the game commission is not anti-hunting. There's your disconnect. I explained that above, but I guess you missed it. Reread.

I did read it. It's irrelevant.

It was pants on head retarded to take a picture of the kill and have it published.

What one chooses to do in their own time is their own business. Until they publish it in a magazine - at that point, you are inviting commentary. The humane society is happy to oblige.

I don't agree with the humane society, but I have no issue with them expressing their opinion either.

Mayhap homeboy won't decide to televise his next hunting trip.

Nobody is suggesting censoring the humane society. We are suggesting that they are retarded for getting their ass up in the air over this.

The man did nothing illegal and did nothing untoward even given his office, ESPECIALLY given his office. To argue otherwise is of course, what the zealot crazies in the humane society are hoping for. Guess they hooked you with their baseless rhetoric.

I think if you are a state agent charged with (in part) keeping people from hunting mountain lions, it's not the wisest idea to get your hunt and kill of a mountain lion published in a magazine.

Both the Humane Society and this Schlub are retarded. Not one or the other.

The only thing I don't understand is why go all the way to Idaho? Pumas are easy to find in Arizona I hear. They come out for just about any bait, too.

So what you're saying is that a person charged with enforcing responsible hunting laws should not be photographed obeying responsible hunting laws. OK... well some of us don't think that every special interest group with a crazy bone of contention should dictate the actions of the rest of us.


As for why Idaho - I couldn't tell you, but I know Idaho is a popular destination for a lot of North American big game AND small game hunting trips from all over the nation.

Reasonable people would see an issue with publicizing actions that you punish others for on a semi-regular basis.

Again, it's one thing to do it. It's another to publish it in a magazine and feign shock when someone objects to it.

He doesn't punish people for legally hunting mountain lion. It just so happens that there is no season for mountain lion in his state.

If he goes on a moose hunt in the Northeast, should someone take issue because there are no moose in California?

Are traffic cops not allowed to participate in amateur track racing?

Not allowed != not wise.

If it's illegal to do so in your state, it's not wise to publish photographs of you doing so somewhere where it is legal.
