[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1345135, member: 4191"] We get quite a few summer tourists that travel to the area of Alaska where I live. Good salmon fishing. Around 35 years ago some tourists were parked along the side of the highway, standing alongside their motorhome, and taking pictures of a bull moose standing a short distance from the road. Moose season was open, and of course the first Alaskan hunter that drove by saw the commotion as well as the bull moose. He got out of his vehicle with his hunting rifle, stepped off the traveled road surface, and dumped the bull in short order. Now this created quite a bit of emotional trauma and hysteria for the poor tourists. The tourists had came to fish and see/photograph moose and other Alaskan wildlife. On the other hand, the locals see moose year round, but only get to shoot them during a 2-3 week hunting season. Shooting one next to the road where they can be retrieved so easily is a gift from God, because they're immense. I heard that story retold a number of times that season/winter, associated with lots of smiles. It clearly did not hurt our tourism business too badly, as there's more tourists in the area now than ever. [/QUOTE]
