    Here is a pretty heated story that is going on in California. The president of the California Fish and Game Commission legally shot a cougar in Idaho, but many California residents are calling for his resignation because it is illegal to hunt cougars in California.

    Years and years of California inbreeding has produced a new sub human species void of reasoning, suffering from bleeding hearts which apparently can only be treated by publicly embarrassment.

    Maybe some day the big 1 will hit out there and that state will break off and float out to sea were it can be its own country.

    He is in trouble if in fact he didn’t “pay” and it was a freebie…. busted on a technicality.

    I’ll never forget this:

    My sister used to live in CA and she was having bee troubles. Well, we were at the local grocery store and my mom asks the lady at the checkout where the bee killer was.

    The lady replies haughtily, “Did you say……bee….KILLER????….Oh no, you can’t kill bees here! You have to call pest control and pay for them to move the bee hive! (of course) We don’t kill bees here!”

    He paid 3200 to hunt the ranch. He was asked to shoot the cougar because they planed to shoot it for population control. It’s no different then paying to hunt a farm around here for deer and the farmer asks you to shoot a coyote for him. That’s my take on it all, but what do I know I’m not screwed in the head like the people in Cal.

    I love the folks who said it was “unethical” for him to hunt lion in Idaho since Cal. had made it illegal. I’m sure these same folks believe Cal. is in error on the medical use of weed, since its illegally nationally.

    Wish Obama would send more time enforcing law in California instead of keeping states like AZ from doing it.

    Just blowing off steam.

    I am guessing, you as well as I know… the hunt was a freebie. To use your analogy, it would be like going to a Deer Hunting Ranch, to shoot a coyote for $100 and the owner telling you to shoot one of the Mature Bucks too (that are $1500 to shoot), to reduce herd Maybe they are that dumb in fornia and would fall for that one!!!

    You are right G, but knowing and proving are two different things.

    Correct Steve.. and that is why the “ethics” are being questioned…(not about shooting a cougar, but about getting it for free) and I say his are bunk if that’s his story and he sticks to it

    I wonder if those same people have an issue with others who travel to Nevada to gamble?
