Hunting and fishing is big business there. Most people hunt and fish. Say what you will, hunters are conservationists and killing for "fun" doesn't sit well with them.

Sure, yes, some assholes are also hunters. This one certainly was. But you can't call this hunting. He was lead directly to a position where he could shoot. It was killing, not hunting. There was no expectation that the game would be eaten. It wasn't population control. It was target practice.

I may be in the minority here, but hunting doesn't bother me. Killing does. This was senseless.

And I expect even the people of idaho were appalled by this. Asshats of course, probably laughed about it and made racial comments.
