Trophy Moose Shot At Brainard Lake

Ban tree hugging nerds from Hunting area's.

I would think they would be more thankful towards us hunters who pay (from taxes on firearms, ammo and licensing fees) for their opportunity to view wildlife in their natural habitat. They just got to witness the circle of life first hand (que Lion King).

But my meat comes from the grocery store. No animals died for my bugers.

Who has a pet moose? [gohome]

A moose once bit my sister.

Those were some funny movie credits.[LOL]

I'm glad somebody got that. [Coffee]

I knew it sounded familiar, but couldn't place it. Cstone fleshed it out for me.

Pretty much as I predicted but it still sucks.

I've considered if and how I might take a moose near Brainard or other areas where there are a lot of people. It's a tough call and I wouldn't want to be in that hunter's position. The upshot of the "outrage" over how and where the moose was taken is that CPW might close all the Brainard Lake road area to hunting within 1/4 mile of the road, like they did in the Laramie River Valley from Chambers Lake north. Trouble is, that's where the majority of the moose are, in the riparian area where the forage is.

And, let's examine the disparaging comments by the two (gay) campground chicks. One claimed to hunt and fish. Yea, right, prove it, sweet cheeks. I'll wager she has never hunted in her life, or not since childhood. Clearly, she has no understanding of what hunting is from her comments about trophy hunt, moose being pets, and "that's not hunting". To call it "totally unethical and immoral" is falsehood based on ignorance. I wonder, do they eat meat slaughtered in factories killed by someone else, and do they consider that moral, or would that be totally unethical and immoral? Hypocrisy, anyone?

It was to be expected given all the hoo-ha thanks to ABC Channel 7 using inflammatory and ignorant comments to sell a story. Is there no journalistic responsibility to the truth, no respect for science and the phenomenal success of the North American wildlife management scheme? An eighth mile would have been adequate for a visual barrier to "protect" the nitwits from the realities of predation. At least in that area the willow carrs that the moose inhabit are are numerous and extensive so it shouldn't have a big impact on a determined hunter.

Oh, and Channel 7 can kiss my ass, the low life scum.
