Apparently these fearless "hunters" took it down from 300 yards with a semi-automatic.
Are you under the mistaken impression that semi-automatic firearms aren't regularly used in hunting?
We thought it was a polar bear.
Welcome to the food chain, whitey.
Those mormon hunters should be ashamed!!!
What laws did they break? There are thousands of fish and game laws in every state and province protecting every rare animal and endangered species. There are laws also about mating seasons, and ages of animals and size etc. Surely if it’s as you say, they must have done something wrong in the eyes of the wildlife regulators Have them prosecuted if they did. If they didn’t do anything wrong and were just exercising their rights as properly licensed hunters, then shut up and leave them alone.
People/jerks like this give hunters and guns a bad name, when in fact “it’s the people, stupid”.
The morons walk among us. Sad that such a beautiful and rare creature was killed for “fun”.
Love my guns.....but could never hunt.
Albinism is not exactly a beneficial mutation. Removing the albino moose from the population is a beneficial culling. So my good will is with the hunters.
From most of the replies to this post, it seems that the posters are the mindless nincompoops. A moose of any color is fair ame. I would have it stuffed and let it stand in my living room.
Your comments are off base. Yes, it is too bad that they weren't aware of moronic Indian customs.
It’s not like this is a rare breed, or endangered species. It’s just a dang albino. As long as there are moose, there will be albino moose from time to time. So, what exactly did they do wrong?
I don’t think that they should have shot it but having shot it I think it’s stupid to give the skin and head to the Indians.
Most hunters I know are almost reverent regarding nature and the environment. Hunters do far more good than these urban, armchair econazis spouting rules and regs. It’s surprising to hear that these hunters shot such a rare creature. Occasionally a fisherman here on the east coast will pull up a blue lobster. Invariably the lobsters end up being donated to an aquarium.
An albino Møøse once bit my sister...
So?
What they did was neither illegal, immoral or fattening.
Don't ya just love the "it's rare, it's special,,,so we gotta kill it!" mindset?
No more then I love the ""it's rare, it's special,,,so we gotta save it for no reason!" mindset.
Apparently these fearless "hunters" took it down from 300 yards with a semi-automatic. Really something to brag about, which they did.
Actually yes that is something to brag about. Hitting a moving target at three football fields away is not exactly the the easiest thing in the world. And "semi-automatic"? Really? That only describes 90% of hunting rifles.
Mighty hunters, indeed. Mighty jerks.
:yawn:
That wasn’t very white of them
It’s a moose...it’s moose season.......it’ll die at some point might as well be a meal and trophy.
It won’t look any different with vegetables in a curry gravy served over rice.
