Idaho Fish and Game Commissioner Blake Fischer reportedly has agreed to step down after sharing photos of himself in Africa posing with a "family of baboons" that he said he killed.

In a resignation letter to Idaho Gov. C. L. "Butch" Otter, Reuters reports that "Fischer cited poor judgment in posting the images."

"I recently made some poor judgments that resulted in sharing photos of a hunt in which I did not display an appropriate level of sportsmanship and respect for the animals I harvested," he reportedly wrote.

In his letter, "Fischer went on to apologize to the hunters and anglers of Idaho and expressed the hope that 'my actions will not harm the integrity and ethic' of the state's wildlife agency."

In one of his hunting photos, Fischer smiles as he props up the heads of two baboons, with a young animal sitting in another baboon's lap. The photos are part of an email that was initially acquired by the Idaho Statesman through a public information request filed with the governor's office.

1. Blake Fischer reminds me of two other assholes, Donald Jr and Eric.

What he did is sad and wrong on so many levels. It takes a really vile and empty soul to massacre animals, including a juvenile, and then pose over the bodies, smiling like a madman.
