Tis The Poaching Season

I'll bet the price per pound for this moose meat and rack is going to be a bit lofty.

Well, take the cost of the overflights (fuel, pay hours), the cost of hauling out that ATV, the cost of loading up that moose flesh, and the cost of processing the criminals, and you have some filet mingnon prices fer shur.

Alaska is usually pretty good with getting extra salmon out to the poor people, of which there are many in the state, but I don't know to what stomachs, if any, that moose meat will find its way.

I don't know about you, spode, but I just don't get big game hunting. I get it if you are a paleo-Indian, but not if your are some modern-day middle-class dude. I can hardly stomach those hunting shows on ESPN and OLN.

I've never killed anything but putting a mangled possum out of its misery, but I don't mind hunting, if the meat is eaten. In fact, I've considered taking up hunting, so I can feed the family after the end of civilization as we know it. That would be next, I think.

I don't know. We've spent thousands of years domesticating animals so we don't "have" to hunt. We've already killed off thousands of species of plants and animals, so why kill more? Ironically, we killed the most important ones, the ones that prey on the megafauna, so now we have rampant deer herds getting malnourished because of their population explosion.

How bout if you just hunt skinny, malnourished deer in the suburbs for now? Or at least wait until the apocalypse.
