by the by, i came across this page about buffalo hunting in my random internet browsing (don't even ask me how i got there; i'm not sure myself) and for some reason it made me really angry. now i'm not really against gun-owning or hunting (though i'm not necessarily a fan of the culture and attitudes that seem to come along with it), but really - how can you be PROUD of having hunted and killed a buffalo in a planned, guided expedition?

Hunters can enjoy an authentic hunt, full of adventure. This is no "canned" hunt but a stalk and shoot adventure. Accompanied by your guide, you will work your way within rifle shot of the wary herds. Bow hunters can choose to stalk, or hunt from blinds. Either way, your South Dakota Buffalo Hunt will create a lifetime of memories.

sorry buddy, but this is not like being out in the wilds of africa and taking home a 2 ton lion. especially for the people who hunt bufffalos with guns. if you can kill a buffalo with a real bow and arrow then i might have a little more respect for you because i seen dances with wolves (like twelve times), and shit looks hard. but as you know, with a gun, you may as well be swinging a tennis racket around in 4x4 room full of frogs. that is to say that neither creature would stand a chance.

additionally: who PLANS a vacation to SOUTH DAKOTA to go hunt buffalos? let me tell you - i've both been to south dakota and hung out with a herd of buffalos, and the two combined - well, unless you throw in a shitload of tequila - you've got yourself a crappy, weirdo vacation. i mean, how the hell are you going to get that thing home on a plane?
