There are hunters. Then there are hunters whoâll shoot from their pickemup truck (in between beers). And then there are hunters whoâll shoot the decoy deer sitting twenty yards away from the SUV with the decals and reflective stripes and light bar. And then there are the hunter whoâll shoot the decoy deer from their pickemup truck window in between beers. I wish I were joking.
Pokeâm hard Mr. Miller!âŠ. There is a difference between shooting and hunting. I hunt, and nobody likes these guys, they are not hunters, and there is nothing sporting about what they do, unfortunately, they are very common to see.
Rifles and bottles of boozeâŠ..looks like my two brothers siting in trees hunting deer in the PA Pocono Mountains. Thanks to the booze, the deer had nothing to worry about.
I have no issue with responsible, ethical, hunting and shooting. The problem comes with âresponsibleâ. A few years ago a women in Maine was shot and killed while standing on her porch hanging out laundry. Her killer was not convicted. âIt was an accidentâ, Heâs a good guy who made a mistake", âshe should have known better than to wear brown during hunting seasonâ, âshe was from awayâ. I was taught in NRA sponsored hunter safety classâ that I was responsible for that bullet, no matter where it ended up. I was taught to be sure of my backstop, to be sure of my target, to never shot at âflagsâ, to know the area I was hunting. I was taught safety above all else and that hunting under the influence was criminal. These are the same yahooâs who think they need an assault rifle with an oversized clip to hunt deer (or a Wiley moose). I was also taught if I didnât have a clear kill shot to not take the shot. And some wonder why some are afraid of gunsâŠ
I want to know how those two lazy Alcoholics got their fat butts up there, ALONG WITH THE RECLINERS, in the first place! Airlift? Hidden elevator? Forklift??
Experience has taught me that a majority (not a vast majority) of people tramping around in the woods armed with rifles, shotguns, crossbows, or bows and arrows are competent, safety-minded and to a greater or lesser degree respect the environment.
There is an even smaller percentage that I would call true hunters or outdoorsmen â who do so not for the thrill of the kill but the need to feed. These individuals provide for themselves and their families through hunting and fishing.
Personally, I have not hunted with a rifle or bow for many, many years. I prefer to stalk my prey with a camera. Iâve been fortunate to indulge in this type of hunting over several continents. My trophies are some very interesting photographs and the memories of how I obtained them.
And then there are those (I hate to say âpeopleâ) who belong to exclusive country shooting clubs. These people just stand there while birds are released from cages and then shoot at them. I once knew a gamekeeper from one of those clubs who trained his birds to fly across a shooting area to get their food on the other side. I told him he should train the birds to eat out of the barrels of shotguns so that the members of that club wouldnât even have to aim.
Years ago I worked in Indiana for a drug store chain where it was claimed the top execs had a vehicle rigged with seats from which they could hunt without the need for all that walking. This comic reminded me of that.
A hunter in northern Arkansas died on October 22 of this year after being gored by a deer heâd shot and thought heâd killed. Thomas Alexander, 66, of Yellville, Ark., was muzzleloader hunting alone when the attack took place.âIt appears he shot the deer and he had put his rifle down near the deer stand and walked down to check and make sure it was dead,â Arkansas Game and Fish Commission chief of communications Keith Stephens told ABC News. âAnd thatâs when whatever happened, happened.â Apparently, the buck got up and attacked Alexander with its antlers. The hospital confirmed that there were several puncture wounds on his body, although authorities said it was unknown whether he had a heart attack or died from his wounds.
As John Wayne said to his son in âBig Jakeâ, âThe only reason to kill is for meat or self-defense.â* Of course if the Good Lord intend for me to hunt, he wouldnât have invented Winn-Dixie. * My apologies if the quote wasnât spot on accurate.

A friend of mine was once shot at while she was on her horse. Fortunately, the horse ran the other way, not toward the drunken oaf.

If heâs going to shoot, heâd better have a permit and do it quickly, because the state of Maine:
a) requires the former for moose hunting, and
b) closes its moose season on November 30.
And it also better be the first and last moose he shoots this year, âcuz thatâs the bag limit.
