Cheny's hunting escapades really piss me off
From a game management standpoint, hunting right now is the only feasible method of controlling animal populations. Having Crashcart out there blasting away at people gives it more of a bad name than it already has. This isn't helping the reality of the wildlife situation in the US.

If these people went out hunting to have a good experience with the oudoors, it would be different-unfortunately so many Republicans go hunting because they think it makes them "real men."

1. Maybe Duck! Cheney's concerned about overpopulation
and this is his first personal stab at human population control.

2. Quail hunting bothers me
Where I live we lose far too many of our hatchling quail to fireants. We hardly see any quail in the wild anymore and I miss them. Deer hunting I can understand, we have far to many and they compete for food. I just miss our old quail populations. I used to love to watch mommy quail with all her little babies following in a line. :cry:

3. Pretty Pathetic Isn't It?
They need to kill something to look "big bad"?

6. I think we should give Cheney a hunting deferment.

4. Too bad innocent pheasants & quail can't have a chance to get even
It sure takes a lot of courage to release all those farm-raised birds out into some field, and then go out and blow their heads off for the sake of killing something. I'll bet it's the only way for Cheney to get himself off, by killing for the sake of killing.

I'd love to see faux hunters like Cheney get released into some fenced-in forest and then let some half-starved lions loose to hunt THEM down. Let them see what it feels like.

5. Maybe it's more than that.
We've been on the trail of *, looking for signs that he's rolled off the wagon, but we have overlooked Dead-eye Dick. He did have at least one drunk driving charge. Maybe the difference is that he never said he quit drinking.
