REALLY the reporters name is Dick Clever?

Quote:
The state game officer kept his binoculars trained on a tightly clustered group of about 70 elk in a pasture surrounded by several men armed with high-powered bows.

It would figure if this DICK couldn't draw a bow it must be High-Powered.

Quote:
“This is not hunting,” said Allen, slowly shaking his head as the men with bows circled the panicked animals.

Officer Allen may of been saying : This is not Hunting. We have to kill six of these elk today. While shaking his head knowing it wasn't going to be pretty and now I have some tree huggin tard reporter fallowing me around while I have to be here to watch this.

Anyone find it a bit odd the reporter was with officer Allen while it was happening.

Quote:
Only archery hunters were allowed on the field Saturday. Allen said that muzzle-loader hunters were allowed in the area last year, but some proved to be irresponsible by trespassing on farmers’ property or shooting from the highway.


Let me rephrase what this CLEVER DICK is trying to say here.
ALL HUNTERS SUCK!!! Last year it was made obvious that the ML hunters are all irresponsible, trespassing, shooting from the road PsOS so we can never trust them again and now we know that all archery hunters are bloodthirsty opportunist that just want to kill at all cost and have no respect for the beautiful animals. if I can make them look bad enough they wont even let the drunken slob modern firearm guys in here next year.

BULLSH!T

Maybe Just Maybe these were ethical hunters that payed for a Elk tag and a special draw permit and like 95% of the archery elk hunters in this state were not fortunate enough to get an ethical shot at an elk this past year. Did anyone notice in this article where it says archery hunters knowingly limit themselves to only archery elk hunts knowing that it is the least productive way to hunt yet the most sporting. Maybe these guys like to eat elk and know that they can also put in for damage control hunts that are put together when there is a special need to remove a particular group of animals that are a problem. Maybe they were told by the game dept to be in that field at that time the day before the hunt. I would not be a bit surprised if they were not asked to try to take the lead cow while watching the herd the day before with both the owner of the field and a rep from WDFW. A common process for a damage hunt. Maybe these guys weren't there to hunt Elk they were there to kill elk for the game Dept. Maybe I am full of crap or maybe the reporter new where this was going to happen the day before so he could be next to the game warden even before the first arrow flew.

I got a feeling this article was half written the night before it happened and this DICK was frothing at the mouth to write an anti hunting article as soon as he found out it was GOING to happen.

I fear someday soon enough weak minded people will be suckered in by writing like this that my grand kids will never know what it means to harvest an animal and meat just comes in wrapped up plastic packages.

I am not sayin Lukesfishin is weak minded

I'm just SAYIN
