BOISE, Idaho (Enviro Snowflake Brief)— Idaho Fish & Game commissioner Blake Fischer was given a “hero’s welcome” with a Governor hosted gala dinner and photo exhibition upon returning from his African trophy hunting trip. Gov. Otter proudly and glowingly pointed to Fischer’s gallery of photos, with the centerpiece of the exhibit, Blake posing with a family of baboons he killed.

The Governor told a gathering of journalists at his residence that Commissioner Fischer had his whole staff and other IDFG Commissioners laughing and on the edge of their seats at the honorary dinner. “Blake told us, ‘his wife wanted to see him hunt.’”

“First day she wanted to watch me, and ‘get a feel’ of Africa so I shot a whole family of baboons. I think she got the idea quick,” he proudly told Governor Otter and the other IDFG dinner guests and staff.

The Governor said Fischer also displayed all the other trophy animals he killed on his trip-a giraffe, leopard, impala, antelope and waterbuck. “We are so proud of Blake. He really is our role model for the kind of ‘Teddy Roosevelt conservationist’ I seated on my IDFG Commission,” said Otter.

Commissioner Fischer was aware some Idahoans are not fans of his trophy hunting success. “Hey those are the same cry babies who tried to stop IDFG from extending wolf hunting season into pup rearing months. The animals exist for hunters to enjoy killing, and IDFG is here to protect our hunters,” explained Fischer.

Gov. Otter also acknowledged wildlife advocates around the world are outraged by Commissioner Fischer’s trophy hunting, and more so by a Governor’s hero dinner and photo exhibition, which graphically and gratuitously celebrates each animal’s dead body on display.

“These outsiders don’t understand Idaho. We are 48th in education, but buddy, we are #2 next to Wyoming on killing shit,” exclaimed Gov. Otter.
