Well people this the true AMERICAN, All you people slamming her because she love the outdoors to hunt and fish. That's right, She's not a drugged crazed idiot, lazy and violent person like those who supports Obama,
Again all you who don't understand controlling the predator population vs. the prey population need to keep your commits to yourself because your ignorance shows though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any real hunter knows the very hard work involved in hunting. 1. There's the hunt being in the middle of nowhere freezing with noone but yourself to help.
2. The kill. A 200 yard kill is so rare, no true hunter will take the chance. If you are luck to hit your target, you will not kill it. So what you end up doing is injuring an animal that probably dies days later and feeds the worms.
3. The work. Ever eaten a cow that has been drug through rough timber, a swamp and has had insects attack it? No? After the kill thats when the work begins. Get the meat dressed and hung before it starts to rot and dry.
It's sad that a hunter wouldn't meantion all the work. I guess hunting from helicopters is easier!!

Gentlebeings, please be thankful you are not in my high school or college classroom. There you would be required to actually consider arguments and respond logically rather than spouting talking points and insults on matters of which you have little or no real knowledge.
I would remind you that spewing bile, while viscerally satisfying, is, ultimately, unproductive.

To the bloggers in regards to this, it's interesting you care about animals killed for sport. What about the 48 MILLION babies killed here in the U.S. since Roe vs. Wade? That should be your concern, and I can say Sarah Palin is morally intact on this issue. Having 5 children, one a down syndrome baby after 40 shows her caliber. Obama has voted against lesgilation protecting botched abortions babies born alive. Look up Jill Stanek-Aborted alive archives and watch the streaming video interviews with Bill O'Reilly. You will be stunned. America needs to wake up to the real evils and issues. You're concerned with the economy, think of the effect these 48 million killings has affected this economy. Stop closing the door and protect what REALLY MATTERS. Sarah Palin is a great person and I would be honored to have such an individual as Vice President. She is heaven sent!

Sarah and Todd,
Nice to see Real americans willing to serve their
community, family and our Country. Too bad most of the people are too buisy being led by thier emotions and the Talking pundents on TV to stay in touch with REAL life. I don't have TV broadcast in my home because I'm tiard of the Media trying to tell me WHAT to think. As for Sarah Palin....she's the ONLY ONE NOT COMPLAINING about how the Media has treated her.
You probably guessed I'm Voting Mccain/Palin

She is totally lying about aerial hunting of wolves. She was the one to reinstate it after Alaskans voted it down. See Defenders of Wildlife -- o
Of course she wouldn't know the truth if it came up and bit her in the butt. She lies about everything, from Troopergate, to her travel accounts for her kids, to her wardrobe, to her forcing rape victims in Wasilla to purchase their own rape kits, to her sources of information (she reads everything!?!), to her foreign policy experience with Russia. What a horrible person. If elected she will be a redneck trailer trash version of Cheney in a dress.

I cannot understand how such a positive article can get such negative comments.
What is going on ?
Clearly, Palin has always hunted and it's a way of life for many people, to hunt and eat what they hunt.
Serious embarrassment, hunting for sport, etc.
Gee ! It's clear that Sarah is not at all stupid and has clear ideas on subjects she is familiar with, and is a quick learn on those she isn't.
And she does hunt....is that really so very exotic to all the city people ? Guess it is....
Check out Cabelas and LLBEAN. The gear you see in these catalogs is 100%All American outdoor type stuff that many many people used in America every day to hunt, fish, etc.
So why is it so disgusting when SHE does it ?

I love how a lot of libs consider themselves to have more experience then Sarah Palin to be Vice President. Let's take a quick poll...How many of you can list all of the following on your resume (with proof to back it up): PTA member, City Council member, Mayor, and Governor of a US State. I'm sorry, but if you answered no to any of the above, you might have to quit the "not experienced" theme because EVERYONE can see that it's just another lie.

You have a chance to interview a potential vice president of the USA and all you ask her about is hunting? This is your exclusive interview? It's pathetic that you have the chance that any journalist would kill for and you do an infomertial. I've seen hardewr hitting "interviews" in the TV guide
