Senate passes sportsmen's bill in 84-7 vote
Sep 22, 2012 1:42 AM EDT
A sportsmen's bill that could help a Democratic incumbent in Montana has survived a procedural hurdle in the Senate.
The bill would allow hunters to bring back 41 polar bear carcasses from Canada as big game trophies. The bill also would permit more hunting and fishing on federal lands and let bow hunters cross federal land where hunting isn't allowed.
Other provisions would encourage federal land agencies to cooperate with state and local authorities to maintain shooting ranges, exclude ammunition and tackle from federal environmental laws that regulate lead, boost fish populations and protect animal habitat.
Republicans contend the only reason for the vote was to benefit Democratic incumbent Jon Tester's re-election prospects in Montana.
The vote was 84-7.
NRA supports this message.
WOOT.

If the GOP in the Senate was so up in arms about this , how come the vote was what it is? Also it needs to pass the house does it not? Nothing going on there til after the election then nothing likely to happen til after the first of the year.

I don't see a problem with it either.
Not a fan of lead ammo on a hunt though

I think if you blast something, you shoot eat it.
No polar bears for me. I bet they are tasty though. Seriously.
As an environmentalist, I support legal hunting done in a sustainable manner. The U.S. national wildlife refuge system receives the lion's share of it's funding from fees and taxes paid by hunters.
Is the polar bear listed as endangered by the Canadian government?

Scientists claimed in 2008 between 20-25,000 remain in the wild.
But that number could be cut by two thirds by mid century if the Arctic continues to warm due to climate change, as many experts predict.
In 2008, the US government declared polar bears an endangered species and banned all American hunters from returning from Canada with their trophies.

Looks like tester will do whatever he has to do to get elected even if it means whoring himself out for votes so a bunch of douchebags can get a trophy of an endangered animal.

But the entire deal was derailed by a last-minute effort by Senate leaders to add a new bill to the agreement, a "Sportsman Act" sponsored by Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), who is up for re-election. Tester's bill would ease restrictions on hunting, fishing, and shooting on federal public lands.

Its my belief that policy needs to be fluid easily changed and shaped to fit needs/interests of current events. within the purview of the Pres. Not a political stunt right before a recess before an election. Which I grant the Tester vote appears to be.

Guys with small dicks need some type of hobby.
With Karl Rove charging him from every angle, all I know is that Karl Rove is an asshole, so I would still trust Tester over any ally of Rove's ANY DAY.
This is a shame, and disturbing, as if polar bears don't have enough problems with loss of habitat, etc. Agree that it is truly D bags that hunt for trophies, as opposed to hunting for food. Not that I would hunt for either. Maybe I can let the Senator know my opinion about this Sun, when I get to meet him.
what a barbaric practice this is. all for a trophy, to show that you have the skill to cower and hide from a big strong animal and shoot it from a distance. gee, what a big man you are, Mr Hunter. you should be so proud of the trophy in your living room.
you disgust me.

No trophies for me, but, hunt (harvest to be specific) yes.
And so, you'd eat a polar bear? Your sharp skills might just give you the chance to die in a bus in the woods like Chris McCandless if tybird is correct.
Trophy hunting is sickening, just eat everything you kill please.
