This thread has 172 pages with many posts; no, I did not read them all. I did read about 45-50 which gave me an opinion as to how here many feel.
BTW, I now live in small-town Northern Colorado, about 1700 miles from the beltway. And, I worked in Idaho when in college (Adams and Valley Counties) as a smokejumper. I regularly visit central Idaho to see friends and I know how they feel re this situation.
Idaho has always been conservative and gone its own way. In 1963, I saw a man shot and later die outside a central Idaho bar. When the deputy sheriff arrived 2 hours later (long drive over poor roads), he got out of his car, saw the body and said (to the effect), "He was a no-good SOB anyway" He just got back in the car and drove away.
Was this about the same time you killed a grizzly bear inside Glacier Park without reporting it?
