Hunting Nanuq With Michele Leqve
I was exited to see that my much anticipated copy of Hunting Nanuq arrived via Canada Post today. The reason I was looking forward to this DVD was that it was the first women in history(on record) to shoot a polar bear with a bow.
The story starts with a short biography, the pre-trip planning, talking to outfitters, and getting gear ready. I was impressed to learn that Michele Leqve has 36 big game animals under her belt with archery tackle. 12 of those made the pope and young book.
If you are going to plan a polar bear hunt, the information at the beginning of the DVD will be helpful as it shows what one should expect, for example; what you will have to wear while hunting the great polar bear. Conversations with local authorities are on film with some guidelines are made clear for their hunting regulations. Sled dogs and guides are featured so you can get a good idea of what you will encounter when you arrive for a polar bear hunt.
The hunt itself was short with only 1 bear tracked and killed on film during the 3rd day afield, so if you are looking for an actioned packed, kill shot filled hunting movie, this one may not fit the bill. It does however show history in the making of Michele Leqve successfully hunting and killing a polar bear with her bow. Michele’s husband Jim was the camera man, and he did a good job of getting the kill shot clearly filmed. However there were some other hunts labeled as bonus features on the DVD that captured some great hunts, deer, caribou, elk and a color phase black bear. I really enjoyed the caribou hunt, what a monster. Great shooting Michelle!

Thank you and I’m so glad you enjoyed the DVD, BUT you have to watch the 4 bonus hunts where I take a Quebec Lab. Caribou, a Wyoming Elk, a Wyoming Whitetail, and a 500 pound Cinnamon black bear. Just click on the Bonus Features tab. Michele

What a sad individual you are!
That you take the time to track and then kill innocent animals for no reason at all.
Really pethetic!
Hope it backfires on you one time!

As temperatures drop and snow flurries begin to fly in November, some Wisconsin wildlife animals begin looking for spots where they can avoid the cold by either hibernating or enter a long winter’s sleep. State wildlife officials say that

How can you justify swapping your tiny, selfish, short-sighted, small-minded, idiotic, baseless, useless impulses for the life of these beautiful animals. Most people have never seen any of these creatures, future generations will be lucky to see them with people like you around and your shameless gloating showing pictures and video of you with an idiotic smile on your face disgracefully deriving pleasure from their last moments and parading their useless lifeless blood splattered corpses - I’m ashamed to be a human being.

Wow Ben, you really have no idea what your talking about do you!
Do you actually know how many polar bears are in existence? Do you know why polar bears are hunted? Do you know what percentage of the population for each herd is harvested? DO you know how much money is generated for polar bear research by polar bear hunting? How much money have you donated to polar bear conservation?
Post on a PETA blog where your misguided accusations are welcome and appreciated!
