I'm not sure shooting a sheep is much of a test of skill.
wretched things won't flee from machine gunfire.
told to clear a mountainside of sheep came up with the idea of firing a few rounds to get them to run carried on eating grass.
when an anti tank rocket went off they fled

They killed wolf not too far from me. They think she wandered in from the north, where populations have rebounded at bit:

“I just thought it was a big coyote,” Cornett said Wednesday. “I hear a lot of fishing stories, too.”
But on Wednesday, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission confirmed that a large canine killed on Jan. 28 by coyote hunters near the village, about 21 miles north of Fremont, was indeed a gray wolf.

The female, according to genetic testing, was linked to packs of wolves found in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. It was only the third gray wolf confirmed found in Nebraska since 2002, and follows confirmation that an 81-pound male was shot by a rancher south of Bassett in November.

Couldn't have been a very large wolf if he confused it with a coyote.

Why doesn't it surprise me that those cunts don't even know how to use a gun. And congratulating each other for it... Wankers! I hope they die screaming.

What a barbaric piece of shit. People who take pleasure from making innocent defenceless creatures die in agony are the lowest form of cancer out there.

First time I have wholeheartedly agreed with PETA on anything...


Ingrid Newkirk, president of animal rights group Peta condemned the footage and called for Congress to cut ties with the NRA.
"Behind the NRA's macho posturing are scared little men who pay tens of thousands of dollars for someone else to track elephants so that they can shoot them ineptly at close range,"

I'm not sure where I'd stand on NRA members shooting ineptly at PETA members. I think I'd prefer it to elephants. I'd probably even pay to see it.

I rewatched the video and it reminds me of something we encountered driving home one time. We ran into a road that was blocked because a deer had been hit by a car and had multiple broken legs. A Sheriff's deputy was there trying to put it down. He kept shooting and shooting, and either missed, or didn't hit well enough to kill it, his hands were shaking so bad. With each shot the deer would jump in terror. Keep in mind that this was a fully trained deputy with his service weapon at close range. My father went over and talked to him and offered to do it for him, which he did. I'd never heard my father use so much foul language on the way home than I did that day.

Walter Palmer was terrorised into hiding for fear of his life, will that this happen to this barbarian lump of cancer?

No, because he's NRA, and half the country will be outside his door, with rifles, to defend his right to shoot elephants, in a face-off with two dozen angry, placard-wielders.

I'm pretty sure he has 24x7 security. He recently had to "take a vacation" because of threats:

After school shootings that left dozens dead in recent years, National Rifle Association leader Wayne LaPierre said the resulting outrage put him in such danger that he sought shelter aboard a borrowed 108-foot yacht.

During a deposition, the head of the powerful gun-rights group acknowledged sailing in the Bahamas with his family as a "security retreat" in the summers following a 2012 school shooting in Connecticut and a 2018 massacre in Florida.

"I was basically under presidential threat without presidential security in terms of the number of threats I was getting," LaPierre said, according to a transcript of the deposition filed in court over the weekend. "And this was the one place that I hope could feel safe, where I remember getting there going, 'Thank God I'm safe, nobody can get me here.'"

It's fucking ironic, though, isn't it, how these gun nuts, with their arsenal of weaponry, are so intimidated by placard-wielding types. It almost makes you wonder whether these gun nuts are the type of people who should be allowed guns.

Most US police are not hunters or even terribly well trained shooters. They get around about a week of firearms training so slightly less than the Territorial Army and half the basic UK police initial pistol course that qualifies you to be on the range and maybe handed a firearm if aliens invade .
Theres a comedy sketch about a former us cop having to dispatch a deer and making a hash of it.. Mostly about his complete inability to do what needed to be done and not having a clue.
Once shot a horse that had been hit by a range rover it was seriously fucked but wasn't dieing anytime soon.
Entire section of professional soldiers and nobody else wanted to do anything corporal was muttering about first aid.
Horrible but rifle head job done

Yep. Horses and deer live and die on their legs.

I would have thought that even for the NRA, that footage would have been too cancerous and the infectious human garbage would have had to resign. But no, they don't care. The good news is that all the NRA vermin will die some day.

About 15 - 20 years ago, OH - whilst driving at night along some lanes not far from Newcastle/Tyne - managed to be hit by a deer that leapt through the hedge into the path of his car. There was no front end impact as the deer bashed into the driver's door !
Trying to get the RSPCA or even a vet to come out and PTS the poor thing was one 'ell of a job.
In the end, after spending an age on the phone at home, I managed to get someone from our old vet's practice to come out (we had been moved out of their "area" for more than a decade) and, eventually one of the local animal sanctuaries helped foot the bill. The (local) RSPCA were quite clueless.

In contrast, about five years ago I was bimbling along the line of Hadrian's Wall when hound(s) from one of the local hunts "rioted" after a deer. It crossed over just in front of my car, and the hounds lost the scent along the road / cars (car exhaust fumes with added citronella) ... I wasn't about to tell the whipper-in where it went ! It had a broken antler - a point was snapped off - and I saw it again, several miles away, about a month later from the train.

So you went to an exotic country where there are wonderful animals, you followed one and then you killed it!

Why again? Why was that appropriate?

 

[likesfish]

Watched half that video what utter tossers.
That's not for food or population control.
Or cause Dumbo is trying to eat your food and knock your house down. Sri Lanka apprantly they chase them off with fireworks. Its just willy waving
Theres no skill involved you can't exactly miss an elephant except the NRA cunt could and a big arse optic telescopic (sight) at point blank range. Considering the cash and effort you have to go to kill dumbo you'd have thought the wanker would have put the effort to make sure it was a clean kill. .

Shooting the big 5 is no achievement its the act of a rich sociopath. It might have been acceptable in the 1930s even by the 60s it was dubious but in the 21st century. Its as acceptable as DVD of the black and white minstrels and drink driving

 

[weltweit]

I think gradually it is sinking in, there was all sorts of repercussions when the king of Spain went elephant hunting recently. I think / hope rather that it is becoming NOT the thing to do.

Take only photographs leave only footprints!

Idaho bill aims to kill up to 90 percent of state’s wolves

Idaho lawmakers have passed a bill aimed at killing the majority of the state’s wolves, which would get rid of most limits on hunting the predators. It represents the most sweeping expansion of wolf hunting in the state, and has drawn outrage from scientists, conservationists, and even pro-hunting groups.

The act would allow hunters and private contractors to kill 90 percent or more of the state’s wolves, which number around 1,500 at last count. The decision comes just months after the species was removed from the U.S. Endangered Species Act, though wolves in the Northern Rockies have been delisted since 2011. The move threatens to partially undo decades of intense efforts—costing tens of millions in taxpayer dollars—to recover wolves in the region.

The bill passed along party lines, with an overwhelming majority of Republicans in support and Democrats mostly opposed. In the State Senate, it passed on April 21 with a vote of 26 to seven and cleared the State House of Representatives on April 27 with a tally of 58 to 11. The legislation is now headed to the office of Republican Governor Brad Little. If he signs it, it will go into effect within months.

The act would allow for wolves—animals which many in the state perceive as harmful to livestock and elk—to be hunted just about any way, including being shot from airplanes, helicopters, ATVs, and snow machines. Baiting and night hunting with spotlights would be permitted. It would allow trapping and snaring wolves on private property year-round, and each hunter could purchase an unlimited number of tags for killing the predators.

The act paves the way for $300,000 in state funds to go specifically toward killing wolves that prey on elk, a annual increase of $190,000. This is an addition to more than $500,000 the state earmarks toward killing wolves that attack livestock. Some of this money can be given to individuals as reimbursement for expenses accrued killing wolves, which many critics see as a return to the bounty-hunting system that led to the near-elimination of wolves from the Lower 48 in the early 20th century. (Is the gray wolf still endangered? Depends who you ask.)

The bill was opposed by many organizations that traditionally support hunting, including the Idaho Department of Fish and Game and the Idaho Sportsmen group.

“It’s senseless,” says Carter Niemeyer, a retired wildlife manager who spent much of his career in predator control. “To me there’s just not the justification for it. We’re going backward.”



Idaho bill aims to kill up to 90 percent of state’s wolves (msn.com)

I don't understand some of the problems people have with wolves. I've talked to some of the people who support these policies and they always talk about how dangerous they are to humans, but bears killed and injure far more people. And some of the methods they'll be using aren't safe for humans or domestic animals. There's one that's a stake in the ground with a container for poison. When its triggered the canister pops up and releases. There's been domestic dogs killed and small children injured with this--far more than have been hurt by wolves.

They should send those NRA pricks to do the job. Going off how good a shot the head of the NRA is, it'd be as good as a preservation order.

Back home there's a family that holds a coyote hunt every spring. They get drunk, drive around in jeeps, and shoot at anything that moves. One year they were shooting at something and put a hole in our house. Another, a kid was badly hurt on one of those four-wheelers. Their masterpiece though was when a couple of them shot each other. (No Darwin award. They survived) Every year it seems to be some kind of dumb-assed thing.
