You know, it’s really considerate of ranchers in places like Texas to raise exotic species from overseas so hunters can kill them. It’s just a lot more convenient to shoot a blackbuck, also known as an Indian antelope, without flying all the way over to the subcontinent.
Same for the Barbary sheep of North Africa. Who wants to travel to some shithole in Algeria or something when you can fire high-velocity projectiles through the vital organs of animals raised right here in the good old US of A?
But there’s still a problem. Have you seen these Texas ranches? They go on forever. And when you’re a Dallas Cowboys fan from Oklahoma and maybe carrying a little extra water weight, the last thing you want to do is walk all over the place to catch up to these captive animals that are bred to be shot at.
So Cody Morganthaler, 36, came up with a brainstorm and paid $12,000 to three guys with a helicopter to carry him over the ranch so he could shoot while seated in comfort.
He managed to ventilate both Barbary sheep and blackbucks, four animals in total, which he posed with proudly in front of the helicopter, as you see above.
Well, the oppressive US government didn’t see the genius of Cody’s solution, and he and his three accomplices were sentenced this week to a year probation and $5,000 fines. The helicopter pilot got off easy with a $2,500 fine.
Does this government not realize that we Americans get fatter every year? At some point we’re going to be too hefty to track wild animals, and what fun will that be?
