#4 In 2007 Sarah Palin offered $150 to every hunter who hacked off the left foreleg of a wolf shot from a plane.
The Federal Airborne Hunting Act of 1972 made aerial wolf hunting illegal for hunters—spoilsports! But don’t get your camouflage panties in a bunch, there’s a loophole. State governments can give out permits to state employees or licensed individuals for the sake of protecting “land, water, wildlife, livestock, domesticated animals, human life, or crops.”
Where There’s a Wolf . . .
But leave it to our piece-packing girl to make the most of the lupe loophole. When she took office as governor, gunning down wolves from planes turned into a for-profit game! In 2007, in an effort to boost the bloodsport, she offered $150 to every hunter who hacked off the left foreleg of a wolf shot from a plane. A state judge went on to overrule the payments, but not the aerial shooting. So get on up there to Alaska, and shoot yourself a wolf while you still can!

In 2007, Governor Palin allocated $400,000 to “educate” the public about the “ecological benefits” of aerial wolf and bear hunting.
