Idaho Fish & Game official comes under fire for bragging about his hunting trip in Africa - "So I shot a whole family of baboons"
Fischer and his wife shot at least 14 animals in Namibia, according to the photos and descriptions included in an email he sent to more than 100 recipients.
An Idaho Fish and Game Commission member's hunting trip in Africa resulted in a severe backlash after he shared photos of himself with his trophies, which included a family of baboons with their young ones. Speaking to The Idaho Statesman on Friday, Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter's spokesman Jon Hanian asserted that the governor's office is currently looking into Commissioner Blake Fischer's notorious hunting spree.
According to photos and descriptions in an email, Fischer sent to more than 100 recipients, he mentioned shooting at least 14 animals in Namibia along with his wife. His trophies included a giraffe, leopard, impala, sable antelope, waterbuck, kudu, warthog, gemsbok (oryx) and eland, the Associated Press reports.
