Bottom line ... it depends on which state you are in. I've said this before. Guess someone didn't want to hear so I'll say it again. Some states list the protected animals and anything not specifically listed is "fair game" year around. Other states list the animals that can be killed and the conditions they can be killed under. In those states anything not specifically listed is automatically "protected." Know your state's laws. I believe, but won't swear, that California, where the Sierra Shooting was done, lists the things that can be killed. If so, Justin Smeja did indeed break the law. If it had been done here in Oregon it would have been legal unless there were some other illegal component ... shooting from or across a public road, shooting from a vehicle, hunting by prohibited methods (spotlight, for instance), or trespassing. Know your state's laws. (See, said it again.) Do not assume what is true in one state has any resemblance to what is legal in another. MIB

Hmmmm. I think I'll get out the chainsaw and feed the hogs well tonight. Don't need the Man on me. You all are right. Your life would be a nightmare after killing one,even for the hope of disclosure.

Dr, Ketchum never said sasquatches were a hybrid between a female human and a lemur. What she did say is "one" of the genes was "similar" (not exact) to that found in a lemur, and from that those making bad assumptions or wanting to malign her claimed she said sasquatches were the result of a union between the two. She's corrected that false claim many times, she believes the unknown DNA is a hominin, and I'm sure others here may know this, but anytime someone is in the cross hairs corrections on known false claims like this may not be forth coming.

Good point, BigTreeWalker. A buddy of mine (no, NOT me!!) did exactly that while hunting javelina in AZ. Only on his lunch break he left a loaded/holstered .357 and could not find it when he went back 20 min later. Looked for hours. Thought he was in the same spot but He just couldn't find it. Talk about an early-senior moment! We've never let him live that down... GK
