Oh, how I agree. For every argument I give to my Dad for him NOT to kill things on his property, he has a valid point as to why he should. I have learned to keep my city-dwelling trap shut. On that subject at least.

No problem for me, in the spring I just take the 22 w/ me while I hang up the wash, they poke their lil' heads out from under our shed, and off it goes!!

One spring I was 5 for 5. Then I blew it the next spring with only 4 for 5. My husband got the other one!

Now my daughter takes care of them. They just can't let mom have all the fun now, can they?

Since Higgins Valley closed their pigeon shoot, this is the only target practice I get!!

It's quite simple really...You aim very carefully, then pull the trigger.

Course, Peri's right. It helps if they aren't boppin' up and down so fast.

Those guys are amazing, there's a dude who does trick shooting with a pistol, firing something like 12 rounds a second (if the six-shooter held that many). Absolutely amazing.

There's also a guy who does similar stuff with a whip.

Unfortunately, I don't know either of their names.
I agree, it's not "sporting" if the deer has no chance.

I don't hunt, too much work. However, I always got a kick out of people who insisted that the accuracy I had (it's been 10+ years since I handled a firearm or bow) with my compound bow was only because of the sights.
So I'd bet them $10 (tank of gas to a HS kid) that I could do the same without the sights. And I would. They didn't know I only mounted the sight because it came with the bow.
It's valid during archery season, there's a few people who have insane accuracy with those primative weapons.
It's basically a spear on a hi-li shaped stick. Lots of power, accuracy for the unpracticed, not so much.
Very, very true.



I've had lots of varied unusal game meat, my favorite is venison sticks (like a slim-jim but tastes good), emu and rattlesnake.
Aside from those, alligator has a fish texture but a flavor that's not chicken, but could pass for poultry if it weren't for the fish texture. Bear is like tough beef, again it has a unique flavor and I've been told it depends on when the bear was taken, sweeter in late spring when the bears have been eating sugary stuff like berries.
Squirell, rabbit anything else that small is not worth eating, too many bones and doesn't taste all that great.
Beef: tastes like shotgun pellets. Lead shotgun pellets none the less. Seriously, got some store bought beef one time with two shot gun pellets in it. I should have sued and started the tampered food craze.
Pretzels: tastes like pretzels, has the texture of teeth. I broke one of my wisdom teeth eating a pretzel once (I have minimal sensitivity in my teeth, about a dozen fillings, novicane for two of them). I'm chewing the pretzel and I get this really, really hard piece of salt, so I spit it out, there was a tooth fragment in it. YUCK! So I threw out the bag. That would have been a hilarious lawsuit. Expert witness (dentist) is called to the stand. "Your honor, upon examination of the defendant's X-rays, we've found the tooth fragment to be the defendant's." "Case dismissed, dumbass."
