Bowseason is upon us. The rednecks arrive at the store early, filling up their big gas-guzzling trucks, some towing trailers with ATVS, buying cigarettes, Copenhagen and coffee, dressed in their camouflage hunting clothes absorbing all manner of human scent before they head off to the mountains, some complaining that I can’t sell them beer before 8:00 am, others claiming that the “damn wolves” have eaten all “their” elk because they didn’t see any along the road yesterday . . .
Such is the pitifully sad and not completely inaccurate public image of hunters and hunting. I'm sure business at the new Missoula Cabela's is booming . . . next week is "NRA Week" at Cabela's.
Meanwhile, of course, the few real hunters who still exist are far out of public sight and sound, stealthily stalking wild wapiti in the backcountry.
Aw, had to erase anything that doesn`t agree with your point of view?
ReplyDeleteWay to insult people that do things different than yourself. Kind of hypocritical of you, don`t ya think?
