Of course through the magic of television it will only APPEAR that Sarah Palin blew that cuddly caribou's head off. In fact Sarah Palin does not know the first thing about hunting.
Oh sure she has been photographed standing over the carcasses of caribou in the past.
Such as here.
And here.
And of course here.
Wait, was that a caribou? Well great, now I'll NEVER get that pony from Santa Claus that I have been asking for since the second grade.
However just posing next to something doesn't mean you killed it.
However if the TLC crew does a good enough job of convincing people that Sarah Palin actually DID slaughter that caribou in the video, that might not be a bad thing.
Because according to research done by Malia Litman Sarah did not possess the appropriate Alaska hunting license allowing her to hunt caribou.
4. According to the Alaska Fish and Game Department, as of September 16, 2010 there was no record of a hunting license for Sarah Palin.
5. Upon further inquiry I was advised by the person employed with the Alaska Fish and Game Department that Sarah Palin had not held a license for 2008 or 2009.
AWK...WARD!
So perhaps somebody (ME, ME, ME!) should call an official at Alaska Fish and Game and tell them to watch SPA on Sunday evening. You know just in case they want to, oh I don't know, ARREST HER for taking a caribou without a hunting license?
Okay Santa, forget the pony, I think I would rather have THIS for Christmas instead!
Damn you Gryphen!
ReplyDeleteIt's too early in the morning for me to laugh so loudly. I think I started the neighbors dog barking and i've dribbled coffee on my shirt--again.
HO HO HO Merry Christmas, Gryphen!! I know my Christmas will be a whole lot merrier with Palin in the slammer!
ReplyDeleteOrange really isn't her color though. Maybe they will let her wear her flag pin and 6 inch stilettos, because after all, she's going to be the next POTUS.
I want that for Xmas too, Uncle Gryphen. And perhaps the footage of said arrest or fine could be included in the "Reunion" follow-up show that all reality Tv shows have???
ReplyDeleteI'm just waiting for TLC to realise what they've done...and try to salvage slapstick comedy from the rest of this "reality" travesty.
ReplyDelete"This week our outdoorswoman Sarah will
playact shooting a biiiig baddie caribou. With NO HUNTING LICENSE!!! That's right folks, it's a laugh a minute onnnn...Sarah Paaaaaylin's DUH-laska!"
How can she glorify shooting such a beautiful and magnificent creature? I mean, I hate how the camera zooms in on the grace and beauty and then she wants to take it down. Makes me sick.
ReplyDeleteOf course, she makes me sick. And of course it makes me sick that I even watch. I need to stop with all things Palin. I want all the time back that I've spent on this sorry excuse for a human being.
Gryphen, I appreciate what you do to keep the truth out there about her since the media hasn't been doing their job and has let her get this far. You and other bloggers are single-handedly doing what entire media conglomerations used to do as far as covering political candidates. It's really a sorry state where a person, based on her looks alone, can control and influence the message. I really, really, really appreciate all that you do. I hope that you won't need professional psychiatric intervention after all this! If you do, I think we your loyal readers, should cover it.
Sincerely,
Suzanne in NC
It's funny that's she is holding a disposable coffee cup purchased from a coffee shop or convenience store while she's talking about the lack of grocery stores so that one has to kill their meat in order to survive.
ReplyDeleteAlso, she has to bring home the "bacon" too? Doesn't Todd hunt?
Yeah,,,,,right.......I just heard the collective sigh of a gigantic ejaculation from the redneck hillbilly hunters all over the country. She is sure gonna git thir vote. Eewwwwwwwwwww
ReplyDeleteIn 2014 Palin can see the World Cup from her house! -B
ReplyDeletelooked like ramb-ette out there with the red kerchief on, or an inner city gang member who lost her way and wound up on the tundra. except rambo wouldn't have whined "ow,ow,ow" as he crossed a stream, no matter how icy.
ReplyDeleteok, i have a question for alaskans: why is it that whenever i see nature shows about the tundra in summer, it's always buggy as hell. i live in maine, and it's buggy as hell in the summer, no let up as different insects/pests/bird food come into season at different times. is it in the spring that it's really bad. just surprising to see no bugs.
i can safely say i am happy to not have television so i can be sure to miss yet another installment of "sara palin's (faked) alaska". you're almost halfway through it now, aren't you gryph. i know what to get you for christmas - the dvd set with behind the scenes looks into sarah's office, todd's hangar, track, basement, bristol's love life, willow's many trashed abodes, piper's bedroom, trig's birth certificate, and tripp's dna test. sorry, i'm not usually that mean - the slipped disc is speaking, not me.
I don't live in Alaska, but in my state, there is an annual deer hunting season. My husband doesn't look in the fridge and say, "We're almost out of venison. I better go shoot me a deer." (For one thing, the venison would be a year old.) But the point being, his hunting is based on when the season is open, not on how much venison we have.
ReplyDeleteAnd, if he was looking at our supply, he would report, "We have 3 packages of venison steaks, and 3 packages of ground venison." He would not say, "We have 3 deer left." How would one know how to cook 3 packages of deer?
Maybe it is different in Alaska?
Please do it Gryphen! As I recall, the shooting of a moose without a proper hunting tag was the charge she levied against Mike Wooten. (The tag was in his wife's name, but she didn't want to pull the trigger and asked Wooten to do shoot it.) Oh, would this ever be poetic justice.
ReplyDeleteOMG, LMFAO. Sarah gets the schooled by a former Reagen adviser!

Meemers
The Tundra Turd's book has dropped to 47th at Barnes and Noble. Poor baby, poor baby.
ReplyDeleteOMG: We have it in her own words in that interview with O'Reilly, when he told her she was powerful and she was instructing O'Donnell to speak through Fox Lies, she made a statement that she had just shot a Caribou, when Beck was boasting about some fish!
ReplyDeleteLook, we caught her in the act, alert the authorities, see if she is finally embarrased by her lies?!
They really should change the name of the show to The Palins' See their Home State of Alaska for the first time!
ReplyDeleteWhile I'd love to see Palin get ticketed for not having a license, don't you think they will get around it by saying they had a special pass of some sort due to their "promoting Alaska" to the world via her trashy reality show? AF&G would look the other way if someone in charge told them to especially if they felt it was beneficial to the state. Also, $arah obviously still has dirt on enough people to get whatever little problems she encounters taken care of. Look at how Willow's vandalism charges went away along with those of the other girls involved? She may not be Governor but she still has some pull.
*Everyone* should call Alaska Fish and Game and tip them off. No joke. It would be very interesting to see her try to explain herself. Either she would have to admit that she, herself, did not actually shoot the caribou or she'd have to take the citation and admit that she has not been licensed for years.
ReplyDeleteWhile the press won't question her veracity on quite a few things because that would be "political", here is a made for TV example that she is either a liar (not shooting it) or cheater (no license)that is not about politics. It's about a TV show! Hell, even ET could get in on this...Mary Hart: "If Sarah Palin did not shoot that caribou...what else has been faked on Sarah Palin's Alaska?" And then maybe...just maybe...people outside the blog community would start paying attention to what a fake she is.
If you get them to actually hold her accountable to the laws that the rest of us must follow, I'm gettin' me a red jumpsuit with "Gryphen" on it!
ReplyDeleteGryph, you know we all loves you much and appreciate all you do, but no matter what complaint you make to AK Fish and Game, the charges simply won't stick to Teflon Barbie. She'll be forgiven by Baby Jeebus, God, several ancient Greek deities, officials the Palins can pay off with her TLC earnings and (of course) her slobbering disciples. After all, she's chewing up the beautiful Alaskan scenery for the good of her Family and America (insert a shot of the flag majestically waving in the breeze here). Heck, she's doing it for ALL the Americas--North, South and Central, as well as the entire fucking universe! Yeee-hah!
ReplyDeleteThat's hysterical...it's like me opening my fridge in NYC and saying, "Darn, I ain't got no venison in my freezer. Kids, I gotta go upstate and kill some deer, so see ya in a few days."
ReplyDeleteAs if the Wasilla supermarket or butcher down the road was all out of meat.
Oh, and I'll just leave my little down syndrome boy who needs my attention home for a few days cause we need some caribou steaks. Ergh.
I wonder if they serve caribou moose in the looney bin, where it seems like she'll be heading in her next adventure.
Thanks, Gryphen, so glad this has finally come out in the open.
ReplyDeleteSarah was actually aiming the gun at Levi...
ReplyDeleteThis is all very interesting - can I ask what/when is hunting season up there? Would summertime be hunting season?
ReplyDeleteEven if she doesn't have to pay the normal penalties for this, if what she did was illegal we need to get the story out there.
It can and probably will make her look bad, and rightfully so.
These are the kinds of anecdotal stories that stick as well, if not better, than more official ethics questions.
If she does in fact shoot that animal on tape (or someone does) it will be a vivid image for people who are repulsed by it, made far worse if she wasn't even following the rules but rather was being opportunistic in an effort to brand herself for the upcoming elections.
Let's all give them a call and ask why Sarah Palin is allowed to hunt without a license: 907-465-4100
ReplyDeletethis should be serious..having no tag means poaching.here in colorado if you are caught hunting with out a legal tag,the D.O.W. will fine you.take your guns,truck,and you will not be able to hunt for years.so lets see if the courts will do some thing.
ReplyDeleteCome on you guys, TLC would not allow her to hunt without making the proper inquiries-----It would be a fantastic show, but come on.......it won't be that easy, even for paylin to f&*k up something like this. We need to be sure we stay focused on reality. I sure hope I have to eat these words though, and so far, I continue to be surprised---so pop the corn.
ReplyDeleteSomething else distubs me about the photos. Where I come from (and just about everywhere else in the lower 48), when hunters take photos of themselves with their kill, they almost ALWAYS are either holding the rifle they shot their game with or have it lying on the animal (if they need two hands to hold up antlers). Even pics of women hunters are like this. Also, do AK hunters not wear any sort of camouflage when hunting caribou? I was curious about that since SP isn't in either photo.
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm not a hunter, but I have lots of friends who are, so I'm going to stick up for hunting just a bit here. I can understand the revulsion at *murdering* an innocent, beautiful animal. I'm not sure I could do it, unless we had nothing to eat and my kids were going hungry. However, I feel that if you hunt to eat (and not for a trophy) then it is OK.
I also used to work for the US Forest Service, which allows hunting (federal public lands). After learning about healthy herd populations, and the studies they do to determine how many animals can be harvested, I understood the need for hunting.
Humans have thrown the balance of the food web so far out of whack by eliminating or reducing the numbers of natural predators (bears, wolves, mountain lions) that some of the game populations have grown to unhealthy levels. Starvation and disease then take over and spread. Hunting is necessary in a lot of areas to maintain healthy populations.
I used to be 100% against hunting until I learned about this info. Hope this helps some people understand why folks hunt.
Davy....Davy Crockett....Queen of the Wild Frontier. All Queenie needs is her coon skin hat & fringe jacket.
ReplyDeleteI finally watched the video. OMG, she's pretending that she looks in the freezer and is getting low on meat so she has to go hunting!! She is so full of shit. She talks as if Wasilla has no grocery stores. She mentions how there are areas in Alaska that have to depend on what the are able to hunt for food and that is most definitely true. However, in saying this, she doesn't tell anyone that where she lives, she has Target, Walmart and other grocery stores. Is there anything this woman has not lied about??
ReplyDeleteI know exactly where my meat comes from - I'm not stupid. When I was a kid we went to the slaughterhouse to buy our beef. My Dad and Uncles were hunters. That doesn't mean I want to watch fish being bashed or caribou being shot. I also would never watch steer being electrocuted before their throats are slashed AS ENTERTAINMENT!! I'm sorry, I just don't get watching anything being killed as entertainment.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't the State issue waivers for filming for the boost to Tourism or something.
ReplyDeleteWe know she cares little for the law but the production company must have taken care of this.

You encapsulate the problem beautifully.
Isn't it odd that she's talking like she kills to survive, while inventorying the caribou patties in her freezer AND HOLDING A STARBUCKS CUP? Where in the Alaskan wilderness does she hunt for take-out coffee? --Miss K.

Oh PLEASE PLEASE if there is a God in heaven, PLEASE cite her for hunting without a license. Karma for Wooten!
ReplyDeleteAnon 6:20 am
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the time last Thanksgiving that SP allowed us to enjoy a turkey slaughter that was going on right behind her! I guess she knows what her base likes.
Its pretty clear from the video that she isn't an experienced hunter. The men she is with are telling her what to do every step of the way, and she's acting like she's learning everything about the terrain, handling a gun, setting up for the shot...all for the first time. I'm an Alaskan woman and I have been on several hunts in my lifetime, including Caribou, and most in very remote, fly-in locations--not getting in my truck and driving to a roadside like this seems to portray. She is clearly a novice.
ReplyDeleteanon 6:20:
ReplyDeleteI agree wholeheartedly. I'm not ignorant about where meat comes from, but I believe taking any animal life should be a more sobering act than palin shows in her fake autobiographical documentary.

Reality would be finding out what or if something is true or not. Malia already called to fact check given Sarah's claims of her hunting to provide food for her family and claims of spending her summers fishing (while full time mother and governor??)
Has anyone called to inquire or follow up for investigation of Palin's hunting with or without a permit? I do not see a need to bombard people with calls. However it would be prudent to "vet" this "conservative, patriotic, values lovin', christian, and her claims she hunts to feed her family, who also happens to claim she is a paragon of truth teller.
Don't forget Palin has an imaginery "garden" she claims she could not tend to due to a pervert living next door. Don't forget rules are not for Palin and she is entitled to lie. Does anyone believe she'd tell the truth to TLC?
Malia also learned AK has a lottery for Caribou hunting and people must have a valid hunting licensse to apply to the lottery.
I've been thinking about this show, and decided it's not about showing people about Alaska. That is the smoke screen. It's about showing Sarah Palin in a light that she wants to be seen in. Trying to show that, yes Sarah Palin is this great outdoor super woman. She can shoot guns (poorly), harvest her own food (apparently illegally) Set rules for her kids (but not make them stick), etc. This show is all about making the myth of Sarah Palin seem plausible. It also has been a chance for her to repeat some of her verbal flubs ad nauseum and make them seem part of her every day conversation and somehow feel like they weren't flubs.
ReplyDeleteRick
I called and left a message with the Game commission regarding info Palin did not hve a license, she will be featured on elevision hunting caribou, it is my further understanding there is a lottery held to hunt caribou. I stated that an inquiry may be in order if this information is correct. Also that they could verify her hunting on the TLC reality show this coming Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThis is priceless! I just shared on Twitter, FB and Google Buzz! Let's see if the pressure will force Alaska to arrest her butt!:)
ReplyDeleteIf anyone else is calling the commission I did not mention Bristol Palin's claims on Leno that Sarah was caribou hunting. Also Palin also claimed on 9/11 to have had caribou blood under her nails also claiming she had hunted.
ReplyDeleteShe didn't need a building permit for her house; why would she need a hunting or fishing license?
ReplyDeleteThe rules don't apply to Sarah!
I wish Sarah would get in trouble for not having the proper license. I've been to Alaska twice, and went salmon fishing each time, and had to purchase a freaking license for one day!!!!!!! Two fish caught!!
ReplyDeleteRemember, she is delusional and mentally ill enough to think the rules don't apply to her. She is the governor (ex, half term, quitter)
Even if the Fish & Game department inquired, they would take her word that it was all for show and she would name the person with the hunting license and the caribou tag who really shot it. We'd maybe hear it was all good. The govt of Alaska is still in her pocket.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know what year she went on this hunt?
ReplyDeletedmoreno56 said...
ReplyDelete"I just heard the collective sigh of a gigantic ejaculation from the redneck hillbilly hunters all over the country."
No she is NOT going to get the hunter vote. Real hunters hunt game in season WITH a license or tag. POACHERS kill game out of season or without a license. I just had one arrested on my land for 1. hunting without permission in a semi-residential neighborhood (dogs, kids, people use my trails for walking), 2. no license/tag, and 3. trespassing. The guy is a in a world of hurt and I made sure to mention his name at my local gun shop. He'll be lucky to be able to buy ammo there let alone walk in the door with out every one turning their backs on him.
Someone who knows Palin said awhile ago that the picture of her with the dead caribou (and Track or whoever that kid is) was taken after Palin, driving by, got out of her car and posed with the carcass. Nice.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, you nitpicker! Details, details. She can shoot what she wants. She is the HafGuv!
ReplyDeleteI will leave the distance and gunpower discussions to the Ott6 crowd.
For my family, I was part of the butchering and hauling team. Did CrackShot butcher and haul that sucker out. Or was it just left in the field -- for sport, oh, and television.
Was her freezer fuller at the end? That is the drama question all Alaska will want to know. Oh yeah, and why didn't she get a license for this.
did sarah and bristol have commercial on there halibut trip on a commercial halibut boat,also i though a set net permit holder can only have 2 registered sites. on the TLC show it showed todd having 5 sites. does he have 2 set net permits?
ReplyDeletePlaying devil's advocate (so true ... ) is it possible that Palin and TLC went hunting on private land, and licenses and lotteries wouldn't matter?
ReplyDeleteEven if Sarah didn't have a license to hunt and she shot this caribou, I'd be willing to bet one will miraculously appear with her name on it. The new regime at ADF&G is beholden to Sarah Palin. Corey Rossi for one.
ReplyDeleteBut, one thing to think about, hunting licenses aren't automatically put into a computer data base. You go to a local sporting goods store or grocery store and fill out a license form and you get a copy. Not sure how often the copies are forwarded to the State to then be put in a data bank. Maybe not until the end of the month issued, or until the book is used up, or the end of the year. It's usually in the winter, after hunting season, that Troopers start mining the data banks looking for discrepancies and writing tickets for illegal licenses such as non-residents claiming residency. So the reason Sarah's license wasn't found may be that it hasn't been reported to the State yet.
Rick
did willow palin have a commercial fishing license when she went fishing in bristol bay?
ReplyDeleteAWK...WARD!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a Christmas gift,
seeing Sarah's Mug shot on the lame stream media!
"This holiday season, gather your family around the fire and watch Sarah Palin shoot a reindeer in the eye. Then it's Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol at 10"
ReplyDeleteWho knows if she really did kill it? In the previous episode where she "clubs a halibut", the way the footage is edited they cut before she actually clubs the halibut - and if you look at the way she is poised in it, it's obvious that she couldnt' have hit it, at least not on the swing they were showing.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine that however it goes, she doesn't do it in a manner worth actually showing, so with some creative editing she "pretends."
As for Commercial licenses for the halibut episode, good question. They may have licenses from setnetting in the summer, but that is unlikely because Immediate family members such as spouses and kids aren't required to have a crew license. But, they may have a Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission license issued in their name for one of the extra setnet Sites that Todd fishes. Anyone who holds a permit of any kind isn't required to have a crew license. The permit is considered a crew license in this case. BUT....if they do have a Setnet Permit, they are required to be on site while the permit is being fished. unless they are claiming a medical emergency, in which case, the permit can be temporarily transferred to someone else, probably a crew person.
ReplyDeleteBut the rule about being on site is one of the reasons I wanted to know if Todd's crew kept fishing while he rushed home to be with Sarah when she quit as Governor. Because that would have been illegal.
Rick
As for clubbing the halibut, that was for show. I fished halibut commercially for many years and I don't remember one halibut being clubbed. They are gaffed aboard, And if they are lively, they are kept in a checker (box or bin-boarded area)until they calm down, then they are butchered alive so they bleed out good. On some boats, they cut the gills as they come aboard so the bleeding process starts. But nobody wastes time or effort clubbing fish that are already aboard.
ReplyDeleteRick
Gryphen,
ReplyDeleteI just called the # that someone put up and the woman said she DID have a Hunting & fishing lic for 2010! Now I asked her if that would allow caribou b/c I thought some were like a lotto and she said to call "Wildlife Conservation" at 907 465 4190 she was going to connect me but I told her I wanted to get more info. I asked why Maia's got a different answer and she said she (sarah) might have just bought the license from a hunting store and it wasn't in the system yet.
So If any wants to call Wildlife Conservation...have at it!
btw, remember on her disclosure forms, it read $3000 for "meat".
ReplyDeleteThey buy the "meat" they gnaw on.

Well, considering she filmed it for her TeeVee
show, it was probably Summer 2010.
"Wouldn't the State issue waivers for filming for the boost to Tourism or something."
ReplyDeleteWhy would this show boost tourism? From
what I've seen, Alaska is no more beautiful
than any other state. It looks shabby, IMO,
which is not the way it looks in tourism brochures, or on commercials. She must not
like the pretty areas, because she doesn't
appear to be visiting them.
Hunting laws in Alaska are very strict. People get fined big bucks and even go to jail/prison for violating them. I doubt that the Fish & Game dept would have given them a waiver just for the show, but I suppose it is always possible. In any case this needs to be looked into. I wonder if TLC will edit these scenes out in light of these revelations?
ReplyDelete@Rick

So far she comes across as a bi-polar speed freak; something the msm is also noticing.
"No more speed, I'm almost there

'SP's Alaska' is such a crock of shit. I have lived here most of my life and people in South Central Alaska don't hunt because they need the meat. We go to Carrs/Safeway, Fred Meyers, Target, Costco, McDonald's, etc to get our food.
ReplyDeletePeople do hunt in this region but it's mainly for sport. Why spend hundreds/thousands of dollars to obtain permits/guns/etc to obtain meat when you can just go down to the local supermarket and obtain the food easily and cheaply. She's just trying to manufacture a false narrative to her less educated base in the lower 49 that she actually does this on a regular basis and that she's one 'tough' Alaaaskan.
Sure, there are areas in bush Alaska where people really do have to hunt for their food because of the exorbitant prices in stores there maintaining their traditional way of life.
But it is a totally fraudulent for her to paint the picture that where she lives is some remote roadless outpost where everyone needs to hunt and has to travel by float plane. Wasilla is more or less a suburb of Anchorage replete with fast food joints and big box stores.
If the Palins are such great hunters why do they need a guide and why is she constantly complying about walking a mile or so, or climing the easy slope of a mountain (she quitted the 5K run remember?)and about crossing a shallow creek?
ReplyDeleteThat comes off as whiney cityfied Sarah.
Isn't TLC going to show her "field dressing" ie. ripping the guts and still beating heart out of her caribou or moose and then back packing a hind quarter out of the beyond to her freezer.
She says that what she does. I want to see it as advertised or I won't buy it.
The last cartoon of the dead reindeer is priceless.
ReplyDeleteF&G is now claiming she has a 2010 permit, but she never won the draw to hunt caribou.

"But it is a totally fraudulent for her to paint the picture that where she lives is some remote roadless outpost where everyone needs to hunt and has to travel by float plane."
ReplyDeleteIf her family was on the verge of starvation, couldn't they go next door to the hotel and have
a breakfast buffet? The kids could eat free...
I don't know what an elk tag costs in Alaska but a buck deer in Texas is pretty pricey, plus the cost of a lease.
ReplyDeleteI know in Maine there is a state lottery for Moose and the lottery ticket is pretty steep. If your name is not drawn in the lottery you don't get to hunt a moose, and thee is no refund. Even if you get the tag you still have to find the moose all all those trees Same in Texas. Hunting in cedar and mesquite bosque is brutal.
Those elk were out in the wide open, no cover ,but also no thorns, no viens, no poison ivy, no snakes, no fire ants to sit on, no killer bees to tick off, easy peezie, and not even snow.
So.
If Sarah pulled the trigger with no license, she will cheeze off a bunch of America's honest hunters. They would not be impressed with her getting a pass just because it's TeeVee.
She may have a license NOW but did she have a license when she supposedly shot the caribou (required by state law)?
ReplyDeleteA license isn't the only requirement; state law requires a permit as well. http://www.wildlife.alaska.gov/permits/pdfs/tier1_tier2_supp_2011_2012.pdf
She didn't have a permit; her parents both did.
You know you want to.
ReplyDeleteAnd if not you, who will?
Now perfection would be if they got a plethora (I love that word) of phone calls ALL telling them Palin doesn't have a license and shot a caribou on national television.
Good times. Popcorn anyone?
@8:20 AM,
ReplyDeleteI'm not aware of private lands in Alaska where you can hunt without a license.
You still have to get a subsistence license to hunt if your family is below the income levels.
The hunting still must be in the appropriate game management areas and in the proper season.
Not sure about the lottery rules for registered Guides but if you're private I'm sure you must have a lottery tag.

ReplyDeletelooked like ramb-ette out there with the red kerchief on
ReplyDeleteThat's the first thing that struck my eye - WTF is with the red bandanna?
the picture of MOLLY and her daughter holding the dead caribou is not of stupid.
ReplyDeleteThe show is a fake and it is a myth that Palin is a hunter.
ReplyDeleteEvery shot of that caribou showed antlers. After the kill, back at the house, Palin made a big deal of wanting her kid to see the "antlers" of the caribou she supposedly shot...and then, she tosses out that she had gotten a "cow". Well, a cow is a female, and they don't have antlers, so the whole thing must have been staged. What they showed her shooting at wasn't what she said she brought home. Even the kid commented on how small her mom's caribou's leg was during that butchering scene - yeah, because she didn't shot the big "guy", she bagged a smaller cow at some other point (if she even did that). Did she think no one would know what a "cow" was when she said that?
And another thing - dh and I hunt, and I can't imagine any animal sticking around that close after that many shots; yet her dad said "take your time, he isn't going anywhere." Boy, they have some amazing "wild"life there in AK that doesn't scatter with that many shots fired like they do everywhere else in the world.
And yeah, I watched her take at least 6 shots - with her dad doing the reloading for her on all but one of the shots. No hunter needs to have someone reload for them between shots. Nor does a "hunter" walk right up to their animal as she did until they are sure it is dead - even her dad gave her a warning not to do so. It was like she'd never shot anything before. And also, there was the big about her not knowing which compass direction they were heading.
And I've also seen brief teasers of her wearing a red jacket and shooting at a range - the way she handles a gun tells me that she is not familiar with shooting. Period. I saw Todd shooting - he seems to be very comfortable and knows how to shoot. Sarah does not - she's been telling big whoppers about this aspect of her life from the start.
Even my dh was laughing while watching Sarah pretend to be a hunter, who couldn't even reload her own rifle. He said the damned caribou must have been shackled to the ground to have stuck around for all those missed shots. It simply doesn't happen that way when you are hunting for real.
