Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
1. Was she out to actually hunt caribou, or did they stumble across one so she shot it?
2. Was the caliber of the gun improper for hunting caribou, as one commenter stated?
3. What does she do with the meat?
1. They were out to hunt caribou- at a place WAAAYYY out on the tundra. Sarah, her dad and a hunting friend [and of course the film crew who you don't see).
2. Caliber is not an issue. The rifle she first used had a problem with the scope being way off, most likely a result of a bad fall her father took while carrying the rifle. She missed with all 4 (5?) shots fired from that rifle. She then used the 7mm Mag that their hunting partner had, and dropped the critter with the first shot. They tested the first rifle after they got back to camp and the sights were clearly way off, so it was an equipment problem, not a shooter problem.
3. They cut up the meat (after giving thanks for the animal which will feed them) and carried it back to their camp. Next day the bush plane came to fly them out and they took the meat with them. They also took the rib meat, not just the easier and better cuts.
4. I highly recommend this show, on Sunday nights on the TLC channel, and catch the reruns if you can. It is not political, and may be a surprise and worthwhile education for those whose knowledge of food origins extend only to the cellophane wrapped stuff at the corner grocery store.
No wonder Palin scares the liberals so much!
Can I say "effete snob"? Yes, I just did.
Mr. Sorkin, you are an embarrassment to any language you write anything in. Go away. Don't come back.
Second, SP had no make-up during the hunt. Same for her canoe trip and commercial fishing episodes. So, for a person who is in the movie and TV industry, Mr. Sorkin is very inattentive.
Third, the commenters on HP are as idiotic as Mr. Sorkin is.
Fourth, Mr. Sorkin's hatred for SP was just oosing out of the article. Same goes for the HP commenters.
And last, I am now VERY irritated.
Usually its myself and my dad and a tent. We take it home and I save $100 or more in groceries for a few months.
I don't have a issue with her hunting. I don't have an issue with them filming it (althought its not my cup of tea)
I do have an issue with doofus there making it a political issue.
You weren't killing that animal for food or shelter or even fashion, you were killing it for fun.
So, how is carving up an animal after you have killed it torture? And why would you carve up an animal after you shot it, if not for the meat?
Yer the veriest stereotype of a hypocritical, clueless oxgen thief, boyo...
I confess, Mr. DeBille has been sending him monthly reports.

This story should put everyone in a better mood for a beautiful, albeit chilly, Friday.

As he sits in his leather chair, wearing his leather Birkentocks, munching on a Whopper?
What a douche-bag.
Let me assure you that MOST of the Northeastern United States, along with the West Coast, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Houston, and MANY OTHER locations swoon for the words of the illustrious Mr. Sorkin. Of course, they do the same for Ms. Dowd, Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Frank, Mr. Krugman, and MANY more.
