Mounted in Alaska is NOT the the Sara Palin porn you've been waiting for; it's about taxidermy.

Last week I watched a similar show that featured an old man's stuffed elephant head. I was actually disgusted - for what purpose does one shoot an elephant and what sort of pride would posses him to preserve the act in the form of a trophy?

Damn. I wonder if Tina fey would play palin in that porno?

I'm not a tree hugger by any means - I understand the need to hunt, control wild animal populations and eat. I don't understand the sport or reasoning behind killing an elephant and stuffing its carcass.

You apparently have never realized the thrill of killing an animal 15 times larger then you. I doubt I could explain it to you either. It's kind of like the thrill of getting away from the cops after they start chasing you except you don't get anything yucky on you....

A lot has changed since the rough riders.

For some reason I thought elephants had become endangered over the last 100 years.

edit: OK, they're not endangered - merely threatened.

Killing an elephant is on par w/ killing whales....f#@$en retarded.

If that old f#@$ wanted a thrill he should have taken on a pride of lions armed with a spear & meat shirt....that would be exciting.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy hunting as much as next guy but after stalking armed humans while in the Jarheads the thought of hunting animals seems......well….meh

The same guy had a lion stuffed too - I think he was on a motor safari.

Actually over the years through diligent wildlife management Elephants have been brought back from their once dismally low numbers. In fact the management has been too effective and there is a great overpopulation situation now. Think whitetail deer in SC kind of over population. Many areas are having to cull herds and many hunting preserves has reduced or dropped trophy fees all together on Elephants. As for wanting to stuff one much less having a place to display it is beyond me. And I don't necessarily approve of these credit card hunts either.

But there is now a logical reason for hunting elephants(humans suck at controlling nature) hopefully where ever these elephants are being hunted people like eating Elephant.

motor safari.

It's on my travel list...though I'll be shooting w/ a camera. Some friends went last year and said it kicked ass except for the lions coming around at night while they were sleeping in tents.

I didn't stop but I seem to recall seeing a lot of tail flopping in my rear view mirror.

Poor bastard.

My wife's uncle is all about hunting. He has gotten to the point were he doesn't have fun unless he bow hunts scary things that can kill you. His last trip to africa was to bow hunt lions. Gnarly dude.

Its funny because for the greater part of human civilization that kind of statement would probably get you hunted. Only in the last 30 or 40 years has hunting become this thing that everyone cringes about when they hear. Hunting elephants is considerable overkill. But a good quail, pheasant, turkey, deer, or boar hunt is exhilerating. And when the day is over and you're eating what you hunted and it tastes so good you feel a great sense of accomplishment. Kind of like, "Yeah, I could survive the apocalypse."

 

[kazlx]

I just don't get hunting.

Same here. Must be a real accomplishment to blast a deer at 500 yards with a huge scope.

On a side note, I have no issues with the people that hunt and eat what they kill. But to just shoot a large animal for the enjoyment isn't really an awesome display of masculinity. Trust me, if I had to kill something to avoid starving, I would have zero issues with it.

Shooting an elephant just to watch it die doesn't really interest me.

Bringing home my own meat instead of buying it at the grocery store, where previously the animal lived in its own sh*t being forcefed an unnatural diet of corn and had to be pumped full of antibiotics because the conditions were so squalid. Terrible.

Hunting's more humane and healthier by every measure than buying meat in the store, so far as I can tell. It's "organic" and "free range" and all of that. Pretty fun too.

Of course, I did wound/kill a turkey I never found last weekend so its not without its faults, but Im sure a coyote somewhere is thanking me.

 

[JohnE]

I used to hunt, but now am too lazy to tromp about the woods in search of something delicious to kill, killitskinithaulitoutandbutcherit. Now I buy it pre killed, skinned hauled and butchered at a convenient market...

People who think it's fun to shot animals should be shot themselves. No pride in shooting something that can't shoot back. Preventing overpopulation shouldn't be a hobby.

My brother an avid hunter stocks our whole family with good fresh meat for the whole winter. Since most of my family are Masons we all get some lean months in the winter. Thankfully because of my Brother and his friends, we get plenty to eat. Over population/hobby my ass, it's for food. The pride is from surviving off the land. We are not lazy. We are self sufficient. What are you?

Back in Washington State we used to night ride and see headlight hunters who would sit in their trucks until they spotted movement crossing the road then they would turn on their headlights and shoot. We would get so pissed when they they turned their headlights on us - this was on private land so calling in a "poacher" had no effect.

I have several hunting grounds to choose from - Safeway, Abertsons, Costco, Piggly Wiggly...

True, especially the good Wegmans. At UofR we had "MegaWegs" and "GhettoWegs".

Out here in WI we have Woodmans. Think WalMart sized grocery store with prices 10-20% lower than other stores and more selection than you could ever imagine. You just have to put up with some of the prices written in sharpie and an overall mildly disgusting atmosphere...

Oh, and since they sell booze in grocery stores, you get the cheapest price on beer/booze/wine as well. Some of it is below what local wine shops actually can buy from distributors at.

The final Ghetto Wegmans is being torn down and Replaced with a new Super one. I will be living less then a mile away. Even the Ghetto wegmans beats all of the fat factories. I am eating Foccacia, Soppreseta, and Provolone with olive tapenade from there as I type.
