Wait a minute; I want to get this picture right.
In order to celebrate the sportsmens' and sportswomens'
victory over the Humane Society of the United States regarding the
anti-bear-hunting voter initiative in Maine back in November, the Columbus,
Ohio-based U.S. Sportsmens Alliance will conduct a drawing for a black bear
hunt in where’s that you say... Quebec?
Yep, that’s what the Alliance’s is proudly boasting about
its latest 16-page e-edition newsletter. The promotional, from-the-heart five-day,
2015 spring trophy bear hunt is being co-hosted by Horseshoe Hill Outfitters near
Val-Dor. That’s in Quebec. Which is in Canada.
And which is a pretty far piece
from Maine, if you want to set your GPS for proper directions.
Now I am going to assume that the brain trust at the
Alliance is aware that Quebec is not a part of Maine, let alone the United
States.
Which begs this question: After all that effort to
successfully thump the HSUS was the Alliance unable to locate a receptive,
appreciative, friendly-Down-East-Maine bear-hunting guide willing to donate a
hunt?
Maybe so since the Alliance had to go to another country and
to a province where English is the official second language in order to
celebrate a victory over anti-hunters in the good old United States of America.
Geeze, no way could I have made this one up.
