All I want are the wonderful deer hunting reports (no body being killed). Such as the quintessential Wisconsin one of the farmer who, tired of his cows being shot at every fall, painted "COW" on the sides of his bovines one season. The cows got shot, anyway. Or the hunter who puts his gun down on the ground to tie his shoe, answer the call of nature, or whatever. His faithful hunting dog wanders over to check out the rifle, bumps it, firing the gun, and hitting said hunter in the butt.
Hunting stories are among the best!

well, my views on hunting have softened over the last few years. simply put I despise redneck-talkin' camo-wearin' beer-gut-hangin' tree perchin' gun-totin' marlboro-puffin Blatz-chuggin and leavin cans in the woods, stupid hat wearin' irresponsible animal maming take 5 shots to bring it down and then have me a heart attack draggin' it out hunters. this, i am hoping, is not the majority of hunters as i had once believed. i have been radically anti-hunting in the past. 
I have learned that there are some very responsible hunters who will shoot and kill with one shot and use every bit of meat they tote home. (Robp is a responsible hunter who is not in it for the thrill of the kill) The deer population is tragically out of control in my county. they are constantly jumping into traffic and being left for dead or causing serious accidents and injury to lots of people. I have seen as many as 8 deer in my back yard before. A fawn once walked up within 4 feet of me as i sat reading in the backyard one day.....  I suppose a massive thinning of the herd is needed for lots of reasons---what i hate is the YEE HAW mentality behind the gun. "gotta gets me a head on that thar wall" --- well, yeah, at least there'd be one brain in the house. 
edited to add:
what's even worse than the above mentioned redneck: the candy-a$$ed dentist i go to who makes $250 a year and never fails to brag to me about his last "conquest" on his latest Alaskan expedition. I once saw his taxidermy truck in the parking lot; back end open and all his office people ogling the 8 ft. POLAR BEAR in the back that JOE STUD PREPPY A$$ED DADDY PAYS FOR MY TRIPS AND YOU PAY TOO MUCH FOR YOUR DENTISTRY think i'll senselessly kill a polar bear or rhino today just had flown home for his oak paneled hunting room.
he has no idea how close i am to unloading on him the next time he goes off on one of his I killed this and I killed that orations as he is drilling my teeth.  yeah, i need another dentist. this one will most likely have me stuffed in his basement before it's all said and done. |
I love you, Sue. I'm sending for you on my deathbed, so I can go out laughing!
