It takes a really brave man to shoot a duck.



Who does it take to catch a fish?

Would it be OK if you caught ducks on a spinning rod and drown them?
That is what we do with fish

Of course there are millions of people who think fishing is murder
too. It does make shooting an animal with a gun seem pretty humane
when you think about it and really more so if you think of what we do
to the bait. ;-)




The guy moaning about hunting ducks is the same one that proposes human
heads on pikes.

I have never actually been duck hunting. That implies getting up early
and freezing your ass off in a duck blind for a nasty bird I won't eat
but I am not offended by the sport.
It is a fact that Ducks Unlimited has done more to protect the
environment along flyways and preserve the species than all the
PETA/Humane society types combined.



I've never been hunting and I'll never go. I have accompanied friends on
hunts a couple of times, just to get out in the woods or fields with a
couple of buddies. I suppose my objection to hunting is the macho
bull**** that accompanies it, something I don't find in fishing. There's
nothing macho about shooting an animal.


But there is something really Macho about hooking a fish and killing the
dirty son of a bitch.

Sounds like Harry, if that's who's whining, needs to find a new set of friends. I've never witnessed
the 'macho bull****' which his buddies perform, but I suppose that's due to the people involved.
Probably a lot of beer drinking involved also.

One of our recent camping trips was to the Shenandoah River State Park. Across the river was what
the locals called 'Redneck Resort', a run-down camping area with a place for shooting. Lots of
gunfire from that side of the river, but it did die down when the sun went down. It died down when
one of our group hiking by the river saw some of the fools on the other side shooting at a snake in
the Shenandoah River. I suppose a 'stump' just wasn't exciting enough as a target.

Whoops. The reason it died down after the snake shooting was 'cause the park rangers were called,
and they got the local deputies involved. Nice and quiet over there for a while!
