And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
An elk with that size of a rack (and note that he had the head tied on as well) will probably provide several hundred pounds of meat. That backpack holds that dude's bedroll, water and dehydrated food.
Perhaps you "non-judgmental" dudes believe that meat comes in plastic trays in the grocery store.
John, you've been given evidence in a YT video and of the laws with respect to harvesting meat. You've been given expert witness, and you admit to your error of confusing elk for caribou which implies an unfamiliarity with big game.
Yet you continue to state the carcass has been left to rot. Ignorance and confidence is a dangerous pairing.
Ignorance and confidence are personality traits of many American Leftists, if I'm not mistaken. That doesn't say much for our friend John's proclivities, does it?
They are all guided hunts... Nunamiut Indians usually guide in Caribou country... Trust me .. or not... Up to you, but the meat usually goes to locals... And you have to pack out your own racks...
Anyone ever stop to think someone else took the photo PERHAPS there are others packing the meat out as well. The photo is set up to look like the "lone hunter: kind of like a Bear Gryles episode!
Ahem... You Sir, win the "Common Sense" prize of the day. There were two cinematographers and a guide with him, minimum, to help him pack his grass-fed protein back out. He even took the liver.
Reminds me of the days when I was hunting Elephant in the deserts of Africa carrying the Tusks and the meat in my backpack across the heated plains. Good thing I had a case of Heineken with me.
Well people when an animal has been left to rot as it was put consider this thought: the carcass is left so other animals can feed. No difference when an animal dies, nature feeds nature.
It makes me a little sad to assume that this dude is a trophy hunter and the elk that he shot is rotting in the woods somewhere.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteBe not so quick to judge.
DeleteHis pack is full of meat from his harvest, including the hide.

That's a caribou not an elk and Alaska law like most other states requires that he salvage all usable meat trophy hunter or not.
DeleteI'm a cattle rancher, John. I know where meat comes from.
DeleteProbably just sheds.
ReplyDeleteThose are not Elk antlers. But, normally one packs them so the points are down, so one does not become a 'trophy' while packing out.
ReplyDeleteCaribou.
DeleteYes, my mistake. The Caribou's body is moldering out on the plain.

Delete^That.
I'd be most worried about some Mr. Magoo slob hunter bagging himself a two-legged caribou.

Known as hubris, after which comes nemesis.

We have the makings of a Greek tragedy.
DeleteIt’s not his fault. He was born with the douchebag gene.
DeleteThanks guys. With "friends" like you, who needs enemies?
DeleteHope the guy or possibly guide is packing the meat out. At least quartered and the back straps

ReplyDeleteBeen there, done that. Have passed on some trophy animals that were just a bridge too far when it came to packing them out.

ReplyDeleteDoesn't matter. Scavengers and buzzards gotta eat too.
ReplyDeleteSame as worms. I quit paying any attention when the genius mentioned the “Elk” antlers and this dude is thinking about taking up golf.
