Interior Secretary Says He Would Support Using Local Hunters In Teddy Roosevelt Park
August 6, 2008
Department of the Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne toured Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota and came away with a statement that he would support using local hunters as a means of thinning an overgrown elk herd.
Don’t get too excited over this statement. These have been made before and it’s not a completely honest one. Although details are never revealed in such statements, more than likely the opportunities that might be made available are not in line with what we would call a traditional opportunity to hunt elk.
It would be nice to shut down the park for a short time and allow a bona fide elk hunt to take place but realistically, I just don’t see that happening.

Thanks for not providing a link to AP. Helping AP run them-

direction they want us to head in. “If you pay me, I’ll let

What overgrown elk herd? Doesn’t anyone know anything differ-
ent than lying? Reminds me of the Laurel and Hardy show….
