but who does happen to be a genius of screenwriting...
I even love west wing, even though it';s about a bunch of liberal pinheads.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I wasn't pointing at you Nigel. When I read the article and the author started talking about what was moral and what was not, well, what I typed was the first thing that came to my mind.

I used to hunt but I just don't have the blood lust anymore and I'm not overly fond of most wild game I've tried and I deplore trophy hunting as a sport for pencil dicks who have something to prove.
Having said that...never had a moose steak. Tried a moose burger in Canada once and it was ok, a bit dry and lean, it wasn't bad...wasn't particulalry special either.

My sentiment exactly. Been enough blow hards writing both glorification and hit pieces on Sarah and I rightly don't care about either. I was hoping her 15 minutes were up.

Trophy hunting really is for guys that suffer from penis entropy. If I can't eat it, I don't hunt it. I have had bear once and I thought it was way too gamey so I would never hunt bear. I have in my life hunted Elk Deer, Wild Pig (razorback and javelina), duck, goose, wild turkey, quail, phesant and dove (though now that I know they mate for life I don't hunt them anymore.) I want to hunt Aligator. That meat is so good when prepared right

Hey Soc, check this out from today's paper on black bears in Lake Tahoe. What do you think?

That's the reason I hunt small game a lot...especially squirrels. They are my favorite wild game. I really like deer and elk but don't get the opportunity to hunt elk. Got drawn last year in a once in a lifetime drawing (took me 17 years) and killed an elk in Western Oklahoma. We've enjoyed that this past year. As i have said before, I usually kill a couple of extra deer and give them to some needy families we have here. I never hunt for trophys...and much prefer the smaller, more tender bucks. Killed a 10 point a few years ago...old deer. Dogged thing even made the gravy tough. As Alton would say, that's not "Good Eats."
Bear meat to me is gross, way too greasy and definitely gamey and there is no way to remove that taste, it is because they are scavengers as well as being predators! yuck!
Geese mate for life. I saw male in absolute distress over his mate that add an arrow in her wing! It was so very heart breaking, we called fish and game, but they couldn't catch them!
A friend of mine killed a bear in Colorado a few years ago. His wife prepared some one evening and I was there shortly after supper and had a piece in a biscuit. It was pretty good. Then a few weeks later I was there and they had fixed more from the same bear and it was greasy and not good. They just opened a bear season here in Oklahoma last year. I have no interest in eating them so I have no interest in hunting them so I leave it up to others.

I like Maureen Dowd's snark better.
The doomed caribou gazed calmly across the Alaska tundra at Caribou Barbie.
The female caribou could easily have escaped, since it took the Wasilla huntress six shots, two rifles and some help from her dad to bag her prey. (Giving credence to Levi Johnston’s contention that she isn’t all that proficient with guns.)
But, inexplicably, the caribou just waited to get gunned down by Sarah Palin, who came across less like a pioneer woman than Private Benjamin with her camo, her French manicured nails, her cap that says (in pink) Girls And Guns, her 72-year-old father and her TLC reality show crew.
Sarah checked her freezer at home before she flew 600 miles to the Arctic, trying to justify her contention that she needs to hunt to eat. Wasn’t it already stocked with those halibuts she clubbed and gutted in an earlier show?
“My dad has taught me that if you want to have wild, organic, healthy food,” she pontificated, “you’re gonna go out there and hunt yourself and fish yourself and you’re gonna fill up your freezer.”
Does Palin really think the average housewife in Ohio who can’t pay her bills is going to load up on ammo, board two different planes, camp out for two nights with a film crew and shoot a caribou so she can feed her family organic food?
It’s amazing that Palin patronized Neiman Marcus during the campaign. Couldn’t she have spun cloth to sew her own clothes?
Hunting seems more sporting with birds — at least they have a better chance to get away. Unless the hunter is Dick Cheney, who would shoot pheasants that were pen-raised and released from a net to make slaughtering them easier.
The poor caribou in the Arctic Circle, a cousin to Santa’s reindeer, had to die so Palin could show off her toughness to voters and try to boost ratings on her show that have slipped since its premiere. (Next Sunday, she’s dragging up nine Gosselins to go shooting and camping.)
Sarah’s view of America is primitive. You’re either a pointy-headed graduate of Harvard Law School or you’re eviscerating animals for fun, which she presents as somehow more authentic.
In movies with animals, they often have a line in the credits assuring that no animals were harmed. In “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” they should have a line at the end assuring that “almost every living creature involved in this show was harmed.”
The caribou that waited too pliantly in the cross hairs is doomed to become stew for Palin and an allegory for politics. The elegant animal standing above the fray, dithering rather than charging at his foes or outmaneuvering them, is Obambi. Even with a rifle aimed at him, he’s trying to be the most reasonable mammal in the scene, mammalian bipartisan, and rise above what he sees as empty distinctions between the species so that we can all unite at a higher level of being.
Palin’s father advises her to warm up her trigger finger. And trigger-happy Sarah represents the Republicans, who have spent two years taking shots at the president, including potshots, and tormenting him in an effort to bring him down.
The Republicans think they have hurt their quarry on the tax-cut deal, making him look weak and at odds with his party. There’s an argument to be made for what the president did, but he doesn’t look good doing it.
When all the Democrats are complaining and all the Republicans are happy, it just can’t be a good deal for Democrats.
Obama gave up on a big principle, and Democrats showed — again — they can’t win the message war. Republicans proved that, while they don’t have the House (for now), the Senate or the White House, they’re still running things.
Obama used to play poker in the Illinois Legislature, but it’s hard to believe. First, he cried uncle to Republicans standing in the corner, holding their breath and turning blue. Then, in his White House press conference, he was defensive, a martyr for the middle class.
He said he must compromise at times as he follows “a North Star.” It was odd, given that Palin uses North Star as a code name, her own “city on the hill” reference, and an allusion to God.
The president said he couldn’t stick to his guns, even though most Americans agreed with him, because Republicans feel that this is their holy grail: “the single most important thing that they have to fight for as a party.” But isn’t helping those in need rather than gilding the rich a holy grail for Democrats? Does he think for a second that the Republicans will relent and be more reasonable in two years? If he believes he can go out in 2012 and attack the Republicans when the political stakes are much higher, why couldn’t he do it now?
It’s not that hard to explain to Americans in distress that the protection of vast fortunes should not be the priority of government.

Conspiracy Theory Alert:
Is it possible people like Aaron Sorkin and Maureen Dowd are in cohoots with Sarah Palin and that's why they are writing this? The more attention people like Sorkin and Dowd give Palin 1) the more she is in the news/spotlight and 2) her show gets higher ratings thus more money in her pocket. Could Palin be giving them kickbacks?

People who watched the West wing are just brain dead lemmings who liked his non-stop 'the right is evil' message. That show was pathetic.

Good luck hunting Gators... they tend to win more often than not. Unlike the majority of your list... gators will hunt you too.
If you want any easy Gator to bag... there is one here in Denver wearing a bright orange number 15. EASY pickings.

The only exception to the "If I can't eat it, I don't hunt it" is coyote. They are becoming a huge problem in the south.
