Thread Name: BS: Troy Gentry Guilty in Tame Bear Killing
Subject: RE: BS: Troy Gentry Guilty in Tame Bear Killing
The practice of killing penned animals and calling it "hunting" has been castigated over and over by hunters. Shucks, if you want elk (for example) to eat you can buy it in some stores, including those on the East Coast -- and it's a helluva lot cheaper than flying out here and pretending you're a Great White Hunter.

Folks out here that hunt, meaning that they go out into the mountains and woods!!, stalk, kill, dress out, haul out, and butcher or have butchered an animal -- why, do you know that they actuall EAT the meat??? In fact, many of them not only eat the meat, but tan the hide and make things from it??

Of course, if all you want is a head for the wall...you rank right up there with the folks who come up from Salt Lake City or LA and shoot cattle.
