It’s that time of year again for Pocatello, Idaho to embarrass the country and mankind with it’s “predator derby” in which predators are killed for points and prizes.
Check out how this works:
Contestants compete against each other on the clock to kill as many predators as possible. They use sophisticated electronic calls that mimic the natural sound of a predator and scents to impersonate foods or to imply a willing mate is nearby. They have exactly 24 hours to shoot as many animals as possible to be the winner.
- Bobcats are worth 2 points
- Foxes are worth 2 points
- Coyotes are worth 2 points
- Wolves are worth 3 points
- Ties are resolved by weight.
Note that Nikon has already pulled out of this trash-fest. Check out the “I Am Idaho” deviant art page for more information:
This event is hosted by Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife. You just have to feel bad for these people. There is something fundamentally wrong with their thought process and ability to analyze common sense and a simple foundation of ethics.
Lets hops this type of event ends soon! thanks for the support and for linking my journal!
The pictures look like something out of Deliverance.
What wolf worshippers dont understand is that controlling numbers of predators allows for a consistant level of harvestable game for consumptive users. Eliminating competitors is what carnivors do its called trophic cascade– my definition however puts Man at the top of the food chain not the dogs.
