It appears the ranch Dick hunts on works in this fashion.

The birds are raised in a pen...you tell the 'guides' how many birds you
want to shoot.

You go out into the field and take up your position. The 'guide' takes the
bird into a bush and when you are ready, he let's them go...

The bird gets maybe 4 seconds of freedom . . .

I thought it was pretty sick...

Hey, these are busy guys with lots of pressure on their egos. You
can't expect them to waste their time wandering around the woods for
hours with... horror... the chance that they might not get a bird at
all.

And this surprises you - how?

Sounds like the status quo for the likes of Darth Cheney - who is responsible
for nearly 4000 troops killed and 20,000 injured, but who "had more important
things to do" when it was his chance to serve...

Why do you think it "sick?" If past performance is even the slightest
indication of future performance, a wag might offer that the 'guide' has
more to worry about than the bird, but IAC, the description above isn't
truly reflective of most such hunts. Moreover, unless you refuse to
fish in any water that might possibly contained stocked fish, IMO, your
criticism of another's method of hunting is hypocritical. You seem to
assign at least some importance to the "4 seconds of freedom." How does
the time of freedom matter when the prey is bred and placed strictly for
the amusement of the hunter? IOW, stocked is stocked.

....now, if you had said you personally found it "unsporting"...

Did you serve, El Cheapo? Yeah, I didn't think so. Mustn't throw
stones now. Of course there isn't too many on roff who *have* served.
The two Franks for sure, Mark was in for a tour, and Wolfgang was in
the CG, but I don't remember Tatosian or Barnard ever serving.
Probably "had more important things to do."

As far as our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, they are all
professionals, all volunteers, something you would *never* do for your
country. Eh? You're a taker, Tatosian, not a giver.

Dave, couldn't agree more.

And for those of us that Couldn't serve, we support in other ways... While
I couldn't for med reasons, Proud to say that my Father was a Marine. And
proud to be part of this country I am. Where our Volunteers are serving and
dying for us in foreign lands. They all volunteered to go into the service
knowing full well they may be called upon. To those I raise a glass in their
honor...
