Is shooting 70 farm-raised pheasants and ducks in one day sportsmanlike? Is it hunting? Isn't it more like target practice? This represents the attitude of easy entitlement that so disgusts me about people like Cheney. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

I guess I am far more disgusted about other aspects of Cheney, et al. Personally, I would be a content soul if he spent all his time from next January on duck hunting in whatever fashion he chooses.

Snakefiddler-no, i'm not a vegetarian ...... Snake |

This represents the attitude of easy entitlement that so disgusts me about people like Cheney. Its a very common form of "hunting" pheasants where they don't propagate well naturally. Here in northern Wisconsin they haven't done well in the wild but there are several places near me where that type of shooting goes on. You pay by the bird whether you end up killing them or not. So his party put down a lot of cash to shoot all those birds. Is it hunting...no, not in my opinion. I consider it little more than target practice wherein the targets get eaten, hopefully. Like its been said, there are alot more reasons to dislike Cheney than this little excursion. Of course, this may be indicative of why he is a poor choice for an ally even if he does fly fish for trout. People in his economic bracket will always have access to game and fish, so why should he care about public game and fish and the woods and waters they inhabit. g.c. |

It gives you a view of the future as the Neocons envision utopia. They have won the class war they started. They have sold off the most of the national forest. The areas with the best trout streams have gone to the super rich and the rest have been clear cut, stripe mined and cyanide leached. The Clarke fork, Madison, Gallatin etc. are all private property. Quality fishing if is available to you only on a fee basis similar to the English system and off limits to 95% of the people. The rest of us are bombarded with magazine articles on fly-fishing for carp, in which we are continually remineded how great it is. |
