How are these animals hunted? Do they have lots of space to hide, or is it, like, shooting elk in a barrel?
It's the Texas Hill Country. The tallest trees are some 8-10 feet tall and they're spread out in a way that no one could reasonably think "forest." These ranches have to feed 'em because there's none of their natural habitat. And it's 115 degrees out in the summer. So, yeah, these brave hunters shoot stunted, semi-domesticated, heat-stunned pathetic little elk. I should be clear that I don't know whether the Armstrong Ranch (which is about the size of a Central American country) practices this sort of bullshit game hunting, but it's all over the Hill Country and even west towards Del Rio.
I'm not sure manslaughter is technically a "high crime".

Well, maybe...
"Duuuuude. You
totally
manslaughtered that guy...."
It's a felony, which means it's not a misdemeanor.
They import some sort of elk/antelope-ish animals from Africa for the Packers to hunt.
1) Do the Packers really need to prove they can pack, um, some kind of meat??
2) Does Brett Favre have some kind of kudu fetish??
3) WTF kind of incredibly bizarre work-perk is that, to have a private African antelope HUNTING PRESERVE?? Like, are the free soda machines and the trainers and the people who carry your luggage not enough?
4) Is the road really really really REALLY far away from the preserve itself? Because, when I was a kid, sometimes dumbass out-of-state hunters would pull over by the side of the highway, and shoot at wildlife, and be shooting into people's back yards. (These dumbasses were promptly arrested.) In this case, I would be worried about people getting rifle bullets through their windshields.
5) I repeat, WTF???
Cruise's publicist has already issued a sternly-worded denial of the breakup. Way to spoil our fun, bastard!
Also, poor Katie! I was almost so happy for her!
Someone on Gawker commented:
Interesting that Tom will sue over the slightest gay rumor but claim that he is leaving his baby mamma and all you get is a publicist's denial.

It does tend to be leaner than beef, so it's more heart healthy.

There's a big-ass fence that makes it obvious that it's private land.
The other side of the road is swamp, but cars sometimes park on little side parking areas to go hunting. I've never heard of cars in deerhunting areas getting shot. You're much more likely to see panicky deer (trying to get away from the hunters) running across the road. (Car/deer kills go way up during hunting season.)
