(Des Moines Register) Silly Iowans upset that they have to wait for up to three years for a hunting permit while celebrities like Bo Jackson can just waltz in and get one whenever they want. Funny who Iowans consider celebrities   (desmoinesregister.com) divider line 92

Why are they trying to promote hunting if there are already 3 years worth of waitlists to fill?
 
2012-01-22 08:43:17 PM
Bo Jackson? Now there's a guy I haven't thought about in at least 15 years. I didn't even know he was still alive. Next you're going to tell me Garth Brooks is still kicking around.
 
2012-01-22 08:43:51 PM
Well, I can kinda see their point. If you have a three year waiting period, why do you need to advertise? I hope they charge out of staters more.

Wait-a-darn-tootin-minute!

Iowa had their moment in the spotlight with the Iowa caucus. We're not supposed to pay attention to Iowa for another 4 years.

It's the natural order of things.

That was ridiculous.
Takes me back to waiting for the bus on a winter morning. Luckily, the bus picked us up right at the end of that kid's driveway.

Considering that I think he played Minor League baseball in Omaha (If I remember right), I'd say he had a pretty good idea what the deer hunting in Iowa is like.

Have to take exception with TFA stating that "what gets people of the couch to go deer hunting is the chance to take a trophy buck." Maybe some hunters, but me, I'm after yummy venison.

I had think a while before I remembered. And when I say I remembered, I mean I looked at his Wikipedia entry.

Bo is a legend, not a celebrity.

His skill set was so pure that if he was a musician he would have been dead by 27.

Who the hell cares? If people have to wait that long, it means they have no animal overpopulation. Thus it is all about ego, not eco.

If the waiting list is 3 years, that probably means the deer population is sparse enough to require a waiting list. If anything, this makes me think the Iowa deer hunting scene is terrible.
 
2012-01-22 08:56:42 PM
With all that corn you'd think there's be a helluva lot of deer for everybody.

If I read TFA right... the wait is only for out of state hunters. So why would Iowans be upset? They dole out 75 Governor's tags to celebrities or whoever else they feel like giving them to. Woopty doo.

Bo hunts? What a hip dude.
 
2012-01-22 09:09:10 PM
lol subweaklingmitter. Bo is not just a man among men, Bo is considered a God even among manly men. As a Raider his strength caused him to dislocate his own hip while being tackled. Essentially Bo's own strength was his kryptonite.

I think it's more about the fact that specific people get special treatment, which the outrage is justified.

"Oh, you mean BLACK Debbie."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why is she 'BLACK Debbie'?"

"Well, not in a BAD way. It's just to tell them apart, because she's... black."

"Well, why don't you call HER Debbie, and the other one 'White Debbie'?

"'White Debbie'? That's stupid! I know she's white."

"So, why do you call the other Debbie 'Black Debbie'? You know SHE's black."

"Hey, first off, I really don't think we should be talking about this in front of Dr. Quinn."

"Listen, man, you're missing the point. What if everyone went around calling you 'White Stormy'?"

"You mean, there's a ... black Stormy?"

(beat)

"No."

I thought everyone had learnt and accepted that those with money are our betters, and we should be honored when they grace us with their presence!

What else you gonna do?

They could create a program that gives tags first to serious hunters, maybe even with an low-income incentive, since you know, THOSE people are going to use the deer for food to feed their families...

OF course that sounds like some sort of 'socialism'..And that's just wrong!

He was so talented fun to watch in both. He was out of baseball for about 2 years and in his 1st at bat back, jacked a homer.

Michigan has overpopulation of deer. Held out of normal season hunting permited in certain areas for a week. My uncle in Whittemore was in on a doe only hunt a couple years ago. I think Iowans are welcome to check. Let Bo hunt where the deer are not.

/11pm Thanksgiving, getting on I-69 at Dort hwy in Flint (busy city area away from any woods unless you count a golf course) two deer ran across Dort. I almost hit the second one. It was like watching the hunting scene in I am Legend.
 
2012-01-22 09:33:26 PM
He actually had a diseased hip, iirc. It wasnt like the tackle destroyed a healthy hip. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

You sound poor.

All kidding aside, the truth is that people with money will always get special consideration. You don't have to agree that it's righteous, but acting like it's not the case and it doesn't happen because it's not fair just makes one sound naive.

Somebody should tell him that he seems to be confused about sports equipment. He'd look like an idiot stepping up to the plate with those shoulder pads on, and I don't think he'd be allowed on the football field with a bat. Crazy guy.
