| 1264515 | 2012-03-12 05:48:00 | He was telling me that he and a partner were on a roadblock that is normally set up to check hunter's IDs and licenses and the game they have shot . It's a normal position on the one road that leads out of the hunting areas in the Northern Kalispell area near Flathead Lake, here in Montana . One COULD drive over the border to Canada, just a few miles away but you need a passport to do that, so they came South . One hunter from California was so proud of his deer that he shot, and as soon as the car stopped, he was out and taking pictures of the warden and the whole check-in area for his big game scrap book . Hew asked the warden to take his picture with his kill, over the hood of his pickup truck and of course, the officer complied . After the pix was taken, the warden put the California hunter into handcuffs and the hunter was really caught off guard and asked what was going on . The warden told him that he was under arrest for game out of season, where the hunter said he had all the proper permits, licenses and such and then the warden told him: "Yeah - that's for a deer . You shot a Llama . There is no hunting season on Llamas . " Oh yeah --- the pictures that were taken were used in court to find the guy guilty . He had wandered onto a private Llama ranch and got his very expensive 'deer' . |

He said the interception point was in Choteau, so that makes sense . This is why most residents here don't go hunting until bow hunting season opens . Archers tend to not make such gross mistakes . Here we have pretty much open season on Gray Wolves, since they are running all over the place like rats . They 'hamstring' a moose, elk, deer, cow and other cattle and just leave them to die of starvation, crippled . They don't kill to eat, just hunt in packs for fun . If you spot one on your property, you have an open permit to shoot it . There is talk of putting a bounty on them . If the Pro-Wolf people wanted something this nasty in the area, why not just bring back saber tooth tigers or a T-Rex? I mean - what could go wrong? The first kid that one of these wolves grabs is gonna change the whole 'cute wolf' controversy ----- instantly . |

Nah - more likely the pro-wolf lobby will try to say that the kid was in the wolves' territory and/or teasing/taunting them... It won't be the fault of the wolves. |

I'd not want them to get too numerous if we had wolves here though. We are spoilt in NZ because we have no dangerous native animals to worry about so I don't really know what it's like, the most dangerous things in the bush here are introduced species, wild pigs, deer, and the occasional stray dogs are about it. I don't think I could be comfortable spending the night in a tent knowing there could be wolves or bears or mountain lions roaming around. My brother was a very active hunter for a long time. I don't believe he'd ever have confused a Llama for a deer, that's so ridiculous it almost has to be true. He hunted Pigs and deer but mainly pigs. The hunting dogs were rigidly trained not to bother stock as he often hunted near or passed through farmland and farmers take a very dim view of losing stock. Pig hunters are a crazy breed though, he took a gun only for emergencies if one of the dogs got in trouble and would always kill the pig with a knife. Pretty hard to mistake one animal for another at that range. |

Now that the Big H is terrorising the Big Apple, the other parties lead from behind. :banana |
