Do you figure he baited it leading up to season, with corn around the porch so he could shoot from a rocking chair or porch swing?

Can skin griz, too.

Minnesota Republican John Kline, fresh from bagging a 10-point buck with a Smith and Wesson .357 handgun last week, took to the floor of the U.S. House Wednesday to urge passage of the National Right-To-Carry Reciprocity Act, which requires that states honor each others’ licenses to carry guns.

Actually, it was a small buck ...

“I hold a concealed-carry permit in the state of Minnesota and I believe individuals should have the right to keep and bear arms for the protection of their home, property, family and person,” he said.

[...] Kline’s deer kill occurred on his five-generation family farm in southeastern Minnesota. His office said he used the pistol for the added challenge.

And all the while, Klink keeping the monocle in place.
