Well, it is that time of year again when all you bleading heart (you
know who you are) anti-deer-hunt people get to watch or think about
a convoy of four-wheel-drives with enough guns and ammunition to
conquer a small country head for the hills to "thin" out the deer
herd. But I don't want you people to think all the conversation about
deer hunting has fallen on deaf ears. As I am looking down the sights
at my (hopefully) victim, the things I have read will be going through
my mind. And as the hot lead leaves the barrel on its mission of death
I will look closely at my prey. And if perchance, I should see a
small tear ebbing from the big brown eye of the gallant young buck . . .
I will shoot it again for being such a spineless wimp!

If you're interested in being a non wimp, why not try bear hunting without a weapon?

He wore some kind of a leather corset/jockstrap to prevent the lion from disemboweling him with his back claws (the way a kitty cat rakes your arm when you grab his belly) He climbed up a tree after the cat and killed him, getting some slashes on his arms in return. It was written up in the paper. Now, in my opinion, this was about as unpleasant and bloodthirsty as a sport can get, but I've got to give the guy credit for one thing: He's the only hunter I've heard of who really gave the animal an even chance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alan Filipski, UNIX group, Motorola Microsystems, Tempe, AZ U.S.A {seismo|ihnp4}!ut-sally!oakhill!mot!al | ucbvax!arizona!asuvax!mot!al ------------------------------------------------------------------------

I agree! I guess I'm what you might call a 'granola' who doesn't believe in killing and hunting as so-called 'sport'. Guns and nuclear missles only provide a sense control and power. At least this guy in Arizona would get a clearer sense of what death really is about. I recently saw a Star Trek episode in which Doctor McCoy expresses to Spock his lack of desire for the Vulcan ability to feel almost directly (or something like that) the pain of others. Spock says something like "Perhaps your history on Earth would be less bloody if you had the same ability". I should probably point out that I'm not a vegetarian so my views on killing can't be as simple as stated here. But I figured you all don't want to hear about that.
