Comments for Michigan man assessed $14,995 for killing trophy elk near homes at http://www.readitnews.com , comment 1 to 3 out of 3 comments http://www.readitnews.com Sat, 31 Jul 2010 08:57:34 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.readitnews.com/get-out-there-arizona-outdoors/outdoor-news-mainmenu-10017/1362-michigan-man-assessed-14995-for-killing-trophy-elk-near-homes-#comment-248 Cont. This kind of trophy hunting, and hunting in general, causes the devolution of these small animal populations... only the strongest, most healthy animals (biggest rack, largest...) are killed by these arrogant hunters with high powered ordnance... the gene pool is therefore diminished of the best genes, leaving less hardy, less strong, less fit animals remaining to breed and pass on their less fit genes! It is not good practice for these, tiny, remaining breeding populations. Again, take photos instead. - T Atkins Sat, 20 Dec 2008 07:20:29 +0100 http://www.readitnews.com/get-out-there-arizona-outdoors/outdoor-news-mainmenu-10017/1362-michigan-man-assessed-14995-for-killing-trophy-elk-near-homes-#comment-247 A beautiful trophy animal, in the prime of his breeding potency is shot and wounded. Running in fear and pain, he weakens, and is finally murdered by some rich dufus willing to pay huge sums for the privilege of "pursuing" their designated big game for one full year! All this so the great white hunter can mount a big dusty trophy in his Great Room showing that he is, indeed, a... macho man. This, particular, macho man shares his credentials with his four helpers, including Arizona elk guide John McClendon (who should, by the way, know the Arizona hunting rules!). Take photos next time. - T Atkins Sat, 20 Dec 2008 07:11:22 +0100 http://www.readitnews.com/get-out-there-arizona-outdoors/outdoor-news-mainmenu-10017/1362-michigan-man-assessed-14995-for-killing-trophy-elk-near-homes-#comment-246 Michael J. Malik and his attorney's were probably feeling pretty cocky when the Pinetop court found him guilty on criminal firearms charges but let him off easy with a minor fine and 8 hours of community service. But in this civil matter, stripping him of the right to hunt in 32 states including Michigan for the next five years is something he's gonna hate! He's an avid hunter, has paid tens of thousands for special hunting permits and owns the 1,000 acre Paradice Hunt Club, a commercial game reserve and hunting grounds near Gladwin in Northern Michigan. But of course without anyone monitoring, this guy who already things he's above the law is certain to sneak around the Arizona ruling; after all, that's his approach to business and life. - Frank Lee Fri, 19 Dec 2008 22:13:15 +0100
