My Last hunting trip.

[banana republican]

Was about thirty years ago. A friend of mine were coming back late one day from pheasant hunting in the small town where we lived, which was about 100 miles from Seattle. We had been out all afternoon and had not seen anything.

As we were driving back we we went past a game farm where pheasnts were being released for the next day's hunt. They were being released into one of the few remaining 40 acre fields open to public hunting. We decided that we would return the next morning at sunrise.

when we got there the next morning the field was ringed with at least 100 hunters. Most of them had taken the weekend off and driven over from Seattle to do some hunting. At sunrise, like clockwork everyone jumped the fence and started into the field. After a few minutes a pheasant flew up; a man shot at the bird and missed.

But not completely; across the field you could hear a man cussing and yelling. He had been hit by some of the pellets.

I looked at my friend we went back to the car and went home.....

1. Karma

People who shoot at defenseless animals for no real reason other than "fun". Can't say I feel sorry for them for getting shot. The sooner the better if you ask me.

3. Hunters must be plain stupid.............

Hunters 'ringed' the field, looking and pointing guns at each other. WTF did they 'think' would happen. IDIOTS!!!!

4. Almost anyone can buy a long gun.

I had a room mate who ran a gun store. A potential customer came in one day looking for a Ruger semi-auto 44 mag carbine. While my friend wasn't looking the guy loaded a round into the chamber, took a bead on my friend's VW beetle and cranked off a round through the front plate glass window, through the engine block of his car and out the winshield. It was on a busy downtown street. Luckily nobody was hurt. When asked why he pulled the trigger, the guy answered: "I didn't know how else to unload it" He didn't get to buy the rifle....

6. After your roomie changed his underwear and pants

Did he get his money out of that crazy SOB?

Through the engine block? What the hell was he shooting? A bazooka? RPG? What?

7. The store insurance paid the bill

The dork who did it was one of his profs from the University. Education does not equal common sense.

He used a 44 mag carbine. It was a lucky shot, putting a hole in the block of the VW (thin cast aluminum casting). I don't think he could have done more damage if he had been a crack shot. The insurace totaled the car plus several hundred dollars for the store front window and artwork. He didn't admit to it but I bet he had a hash mark or two in his skivvies.

5. I worked with a bunch of "hunters" like these. They came to

work talking about their hunting trip. Seems one of them managed to shoot one of the windows of the car out - from the inside - where all four were sitting at the same time. Amazingly, no one was hurt.

8. It's like when you read stories about a guy who goes bear hunting...

....and gets killed by the bear. And people say "Oh, what a shame". Uh, no....it's a sport, and he obviously lost.
