Nice Trophy Sister, and I am sure the Venison will feed some hungry people near you. Blessings be to God that he provided this creature for the greater good...
Where is AG Lynch on this for the violent backlash she’s received that could lead to violence against Christians?
What she did was legal (I see the tag).
That’s the best part of the story. Sister Bauer shared the deer meat with two local families who were in need.
What goodness there is in this woman!
And she’s a great shot.
I am not a hunter, but my dear Brother in Law is, and he praises God every time he bags a deer. Plus they process it at Maplewood Meats and it becomes deliciousness!
They will continue to do this as long as they are permitted.
Bullies always do.
Oh, for God's sake, you cowards. Leave it the hell up!
Actually I bet the kids love and respect her. Beautiful flyover country around there, in the PA conservative T. Probably most of the students.
First Monday of rifle season is still a school holiday and work holiday for a lot.
The Church showing as ever, the spine of an invertebrate..
Good shot, Sister! Our deer on this place know that we
may have to hunt them one day for meat; and they’re OK
with that. Your deer will feed the hungry, the hide will
also be used - none will be wasted.
“We recognize that social media needs to be a two-way conversation, but unfortunately, many of those who oppose hunting posted vulgar comments, using profanity and even an obscene photograph,” Welsh said. “After careful consideration, we decided to delete the post due to its inflammatory nature.”
In a story about the hunt on the diocese’s website, Bauer said she had just said the rosary up in a tree stand when deer appeared, and she killed the 200-pound buck.
“After I realized I got the deer, I thanked God,” she said.
She said she views hunting as a spiritual endeavor and also a form of conservation, a way to help ensure that the deer population remains at a level that can be sustained by the land.
She had the buck butchered for sausage and steaks and shared it with two families. She also took the 16-inch rack to a taxidermist for mounting.
Bauer teaches at Elk County Catholic High School in St. Marys, a city about 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, in the heart of deer and elk hunting country in Pennsylvania. She learned to shoot while in the Navy
“In St. Marys, this is what you do. You go hunting. Everybody goes hunting,” she told television station WSEE in Erie.
She has killed three bucks and a bear during her 15-year hunting career.
“When you’re up on a tree stand, you’re still, you’re quiet. You listen. You watch as the frosty ground just becomes alive,” Bauer told the TV station. “It’s like creation all over.”
Just posting the pertinent parts. Anyhow, she doesn’t strike me as spineless. A traditionally dressed nun up in a tree saying the rosary hunting deer to feed some folks. I mean come on.
Freegards
Sister John Paul “Jack” Bauer? Way to go!
Only one side counted, eye guard tines not included. Points must be in upper two thirds of antler.
Judging by the width of the nose though, that looks to be a heavy deer, so I don't mean to be down-talking the nun's successful hunt.
People and organizations have just got to stand up to this kind of nonsense.
Everytime someone caves it weakens the rest of us.
when I was much younger, I’d go deer hunting in northern Wisconsin every year. We went to Mass on Sunday and the priest showed his boots and red hunting pants under his clerical stuff...Mass didn’t take real long and he was out the back door as fast as we were out the front of the church...plenty funny!!!!!
