Action News that Cheney shot about 70 stocked pheasants and mallards

Isn't anyone taking the bait?

Man, you didn't even wait half a day! It must be snowing or something
up there. Down here, I was riding through our mini-Grand Canyon all day.
Well, that's a slight exaggeration, but it was a great day, probably
65 and sunny.

Is shooting 70 farm-raised pheasants and ducks in one day sportsmanlike?

Probably not. But is catching 50 trout in a one day sportsmanlike? (OBROFF)

Someone I know (closely) has been on a stocked pheasant hunt back east.
But in their hunt, the birds were released the previous day, and they
hunted them up with dogs. More like stocker trout fishing. It sounds like
Cheney and gang just sat there and sipped tea as the field hands released
birds to fly over them. I wouldn't care to partake in that.

I always wanted to go pheasant hunting, though. Maybe Vang will host
something someday :-) When I was about ten I pulled up on what I
thought was a grouse (we were grouse hunting after all) but it didn't
look right and finally I realized it was a hen pheasant. First and
only pheasant I've ever seen hunting.
