Gov. Tim Pawlenty got himself a buck Saturday at the Minnesota Governor's Deer Opener, but still came up empty handed.
Pawlenty, who has more often than not failed to shoot a deer during the opener, shot a small buck while hunting north of Thief River Falls Saturday morning.
But the deer ran off into the brush, apparently badly wounded.
Hunters who were with Pawlenty started hunting the blood trail the animal had left behind,
but Pawlenty had to leave for Iowa, where he was headlining a Republican Party fundraiser.There are so many things wrong with Pawlenty's behavior here, it's hard to know where to start. These are the kinds of "hunters" who should be banned from hunting. I've come across far too many dead deer in the woods that hunters like Pawlenty left to die without ever bothering to track them. It doesn't make me proud to be a hunter.
Many commenters on the story appropriately made an analogy between Pawlenty's hunting and governing. And this guy wants to be president? With any luck, his next hunting party will include "Deadeye" Dick Cheney.
