The hunt is on to defame all trophy hunters

Sabrina Corgatelli posted this photo on her Facebook page July 25, with the comment:

HUNTING — It’s a lot like a witch hunt.

Fueled by social media and anger over the boneheaded bowhunter killing of Cecil the tourist-attraction lion in Zimbabwe, the heat is being applied to every hunter who’s posed with a critter, big or small, legal or illegal.   Myths and misunderstanding are being spread.

Anti-hunting groups are loving this.

In the case of an Idaho State University staffer being called out for posing with some African trophies , I like the fact that the anti-hunters can’t use their chant that the hunting was a way of proving manhood.  The hunter is a woman.  She did nothing illegal.

She’s killed fewer critters in her life than McDonalds sacrifices in an hour.
