Wouldn't it be nice if we had a federal politician who at least pretended to like hunting? What matters is that Sarah Palin supports hunting and gun ownership, and that's the message she's attempting to get out.
Oh, for the record, caribou are pretty dim and sometimes don't seem to care if they live or not. When the bugs get bad during the summer I can't say I blame them.
For as long as I can remember, pro-hunting celebrities and politicians (other than Mr. Heston) have kept a very low profile, almost as though they were ashamed. It's about time that someone, shouts out loud to everyone that they practice and enjoy hunting.
The backlash from the show has been astounding. The screenwriter, Aaron Sorkin recently wrote an article criticizing Palin.Here's a few tidbits of what he said:
"I don't watch snuff films and you make them. You weren't killing that animal for food or shelter or even fashion, you were killing it for fun. You enjoy killing animals. ...I can't make a distinction between what you get paid to do and what Michael Vick went to prison for doing. ...I get happy every time one of you faux-macho s**theads accidentally shoots another one of you in the face."
So you see, I don't care one bit how well she shoulders her rifle, cycles the bolt or even if she's a bad shot. The important thing is that she's out there proudly participating in a traditional family-friendly sport. Take that and smoke it in your crack pipe Mr. Sorkin!
Holy cow what a load of clueless ranting sounds like a bunch of emotional spewing liebrals/dippers spouting off against Harper in a CBC comments section...
My wife who is vegetarian and is basically anti hunting and was anti gun before she met me likes to watch Sarah Palin's Alaska since she started watching it she has now seen Sarah fishing/shooting trap/hunting she is loving the show and is starting to lighten up on her anti hunting stance.
Myself I couldn't care less if Sarah has never fired a gun or hunted before she is out there doing more for our sport than anyone else...
I agree that she doesn't appear to be a "seasoned hunter". But if you watched the episode you'd know that her father was carrying the rifle when he tripped and took a fairly impressive tumble coming down a hill. After the fact Sarah bet her father $5 that the scope was off. He shot it and it was way high. She may not be perfect, but she certainly isn't half-bad. But nowhere as good as you, for certain.
I am down with her and somedays the wife seems replaceable!

I wonder how often your wife thinks about replacing you...![]()
What kind of bou stands still while you shoot 6 times at it? A farmed bou...
You've never actually shot Caribou, have you? MOST caribou just stand there while you shoot them. Then their buddies come and lie down beside them, thinking they are sleeping. The locals massacre hundreds of them this way. It's their right, don't ya know.
But I think I've made no bones about the fact I don't deserve my wife...![]()
This coming from the guy who has to lie to his wife and sneak around to buy guns without her knowing
I seem to remember a thread about that subject not to long ago...
He isn't the only one here with that problem!
I have $200.00 Nightforce Scopes...For instance!
