Idaho fish and game commissioners are volunteers with no compensation and governor appointed. The private business he took over from his dad is a different story.

I somewhat know Blake, as do a few other mags. Idaho is a small state and he was obviously a F&G Commissioner. As many of you know, I work in the hunting industry, live in Idaho and prefer to feed my family with meat I harvest myself. Most major hunting industry players in this state know or have met one another at some point or another.
That said, poor Mr. Fisher can't blame the liberals on this one. He was absolutely skewered by most Idahoans and the call for his resignation came largely from the governor's base--a very, very conservative and sometimes libertarian one--a call so overwhelming that Butch Otter had no choice despite the close old boy ties that got Blake his seat to begin with, and had to quietly call for his resignation. Idahoans are most often very conservative and vote lockstep with far right. But every now and then, they'll break rank on issues near and dear to their heart. Public land access is largely a similar dynamic here--Many Idahoans will open carry guns to school, call foul on abortion and believe every spoonful of bullshit that Trump feeds them, but threaten their public land access and you're going down. Same apparently goes with ethical hunting.
Anyhow, while I half expected our state to call this a liberal conspiracy, I'm proud how the constituents reacted. To be totally fair, Mr Fisher actually has done some good things for hunting in Idaho (backing biologists over revenue) and has been an ardent supporter of public land access, and this should be noted. But that was simply inexcusable for anyone, let alone a man in his position with his responsibility."All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring."

Do I care that some redneck shot some monkeys or giraffe or puppies? No.
The internet does not influence how I decide to allocate my care.
Why even bother giving this your energy? Boredom is a hellava drug, as is the internet.

No man. He deserves what he gets. Guy made some mistakes.
I'm here to point out that those calling for his job and his pay (and a gov retirement) in a commissioner position hopefully understand that at a state level in Idaho won't get much. He is a volunteer in the commissioner position. His private business is his business and livelihood and that is where it might hurt. He's a governor appointee. But, he'll suffer on the private side. CS, I've always thought you were rad but you read into a lot of shit.
And as Rev said, he's spent a lot of time for public land conservation. This is weird. I have no defense for the guy. He fucked up and I hope this isn't how he regularly behaves. Apparently, it might be though. His father has a conservation award named after the family crest. I hope there's redemption but I don't know what could pull him out of the shit he's in. Shit he's deservedly in it, mustache or not.Last edited by Conundrum; 10-16-2018 at 08:48 AM.

Very interesting, thanks.
I feel like this is kinda the redneck version of that science teacher who fed a puppy to his snapping turtle in front of students. Yeah, not technically illegal, but really, what reaction were you expecting? "I shot a who whole family of X!" is just not going to play well unless X is roaches.

Not 100% positive that roaches nurse their young. But I guess if you waited until they were taking a family picture or having Thanksgiving dinner you could get the whole fam with a minimum of wasted ammo.

I’m definitely pro hunting of game for sustenance and conservation. However, that photo hits a little too close to a serial killer. Not to mention he looks like Val Kilmer in tombstone. Like most apex animals, you attack me, you are a goner.
If we mutually agree to leave each other alone, I won’t hurt you either.
Messed up really the way that baby baboons head is cocked back. Disturbing really
