I don't hunt. Used to a long time ago with my dad but the biggest thing I ever shot was a squirel.

Not a fan of venison so I never killed a deer.

Although a friend of mine just got a Russian Boar and I am looking forward to some tasty, tasty fresh piggy! MMMmmm MMMMmmm! Fresh Bacon!!!

[rant]The weapons some people use now-a-days to "hunt" with bug me. If you need to fire off 15 rounds to hit your target once you do not deserve to be out there. And why I tend to not go at all. No, I don't need 15 rounds to hit a target, I am just affraid of running into one of the 14 that some idiot missed with while still in flight![/rant]

If you need an uzi to hit a deer... you might be a lousy hunter and you're definitely an idiot.

Of course I say this as someone married to the one shot wonder who can hit anything with one shot so maybe I'm biased....

Deer is yum ( as is buffalo )Also practical as for the first 2 months you're breastfeeding they suggest no red meat because of the growth hormone so deer is a good way to get around that( I'm pretty sure they aren't breaking into medical facilities and scarfing deer hormones)

I'm also hoping for some rabbit stew this winter ( and some fur to make hoods for Annie and Audrey)

I don't hunt. I don't disagree with it. It is much more human then how they treat livestock.

I am like Solarflare. Getting up at 4:00 A.M. and stand in the cold is not my idea of fun. Anyway, we have anywhere from 600,000 to 700,000 hunters in Wisconsin. I think that is plenty.

To calm your nerves a bit Kelhil, Nevada (and most other states) have strict guidelines on the capacity of rounds a firearm may hold for their state hunts. A maximum of five round magazine capacity for rifles and three rounds total capacity in shotguns. The deer I took a few years ago was taken with a semiautomatic AK47. I would not be dumb enough to be in possession of the usual 30 round plinker magazine as my license would be pulled (possibly forever) and would be fined heavily by the wildlife officer. Yeah, officer. One of the best things state and federal wildlife management divisions did was to have their "rangers" become sworn officers. They enforce wildlife related laws in conjunction with the normal operation of a law enforcement officer. Makes for good conservation having officers that can enforce DUI and littering laws against dirtbags who do use 30 round magazines while tearing up the countryside with their ATV's and trucks/SUVs throwing out their beer cans and bottles wherever they please.

A bunch of hunters really took heat for the Filipino guy who shot those people in Michigan a few years ago. People like that just need to be strung up out in the woods and left...

I hunt news; shoot with camera; then prepare (edit) for air. Does that count?

LOLZ!!!! I'm not a hunter, nor am I married to a one shot wonder, but I have to agree on that statement, for the sheer hilarity.

Is Riding For a Fall a classic, or was it original for Chris LeDoux?

I suspect the case you refer to was in Wisconsin, a Viet guy from the Twin Cities hunting in WI.
