Via Uncle I found this charming picture of a woman holding a turkey in her wedding dress
It wasn't long before Bruce got a turkey to gobble. They put a decoy out and about 10 minutes after that Rene had a 17-pound jake with a 4-inch beard on the ground. "Bruce would call and it would gobble and to be able to experience that was great," she said. "Bruce was telling me to move a little this way and stuff and then I saw it coming in." The turkey never new the newlyweds were in the woods. "She was so excited she teared up," Bruce said. Rene also lived up to a bargain they had made with the folks they had met in Jamaica: Since her wedding dress was already in the car, if she killed a turkey she would put it back on and pose for a picture.

The comments are just pathetic. Beyond pathetic, really. Many of them didn't even bother reading the article and assumed this lovely bride actually hunted IN the wedding dress. The slurs of "REDNECK!" are thrown around with wild abandon. If the bride was black, I assume the same people would recoil at someone screaming "NIGGER WEDDING!", but when the object of their derision is white, there's no such hesitation.
Most of the comments drip with elitism. These people see someone hunting and assume they're nothing more than inbred, white trash with absolutely no concern. I don't hunt, but I'd love to. I see nothing wrong with a woman who enjoys hunting. These commenters are so assured of their position in the world that they fail to realize that without a 24hr Grocery Store located every 3 miles, they would starve to death. Yet they consider themselves well above this woman in the grand scheme of things.
The most whiney, pathetic comment though comes from JerryC
How wonderful. A couple whose relationship is based on antagonizing wildlife and the environment. Fishing sharks, whose numbers are already stressed by commercial enterprises? Four-wheeling? Killing for recreation (no matter what you call it). I guess the only consolation is that soon enough, with habitat shortages, water wars, and extinction rates, there won't be anything left for people like this to destroy. I realize the like-minded souls here won't see it that way, but it saddens me to no end that we humans continue to behave as if we're the only viable species on this planet. This couple seems to exemplify that type of selfish view of the planet.
Yeah, because wildlife NEVER kills other wildlife. It's hilarious how these precious, effeminate parasites like Jerry seem to live under the assumption that nature is this beautiful, peaceful place where every animal lives in perfect harmony. The food he eats comes from magical places where the land springs up tofu and bean sprouts naturally with no human intervention whatsoever. I have a message for this pansy – HERE is what 'nature' does to itself
Oddly, nobody is calling the polar bear a redneck. I bet he thinks he's the only viable animal on the planet.
