hunting is dead...

[Mike P]

Hey, it could be worse---you could live in New Jersey. I read where the state DNR director just ordered the annual bear hunt cancelled, in favor of exploring "non lethal" means of bear control This is in a state which already has the highest taxes in the whole US of A.

Almost as bad, a few years ago, a group of East Enders on LI wanted to ban hunting in favor of hiring "professional sharpshooters" to control the burgeoning deer herds out there. Downstate NY is shotgun and bow and arrow only. What's more of a threat to a home 500 yards away--a hunter with a shotgun or a "professional sharpshooter" with a 30.06?

As Ted Nugent says:"You can't grill it till ya kill it."

Ain't that the truth.

Child: "Where do they come from?"
Mommy: "Deers honey, just like the ones we saw from the park"
Child: "Can I get a gun for Christmas"
