i dont mind hunting...but

“So rox = kevin and kevin bartends at Olive Garden in....Saco?
This is all Fritz's fault!

Nope, I'm a northern Maine/Canada groupie, but I live in southern Maine as well - just not as southern as you and not what's normally referred to as southern Maine.

We have a winter trip to Baxter Park planned. Lemme know if you're interested. If you dare. Be sure to read the boiling bunnies thread first.
>=D”

“voilin, it seems ironic that someone fighting for animal rights' biggest complaint is that their rights are being violated by the practice of helping them thrive and multiply and have a good feild to eat in. that just seems.....well....st00pid



now i can't believe not one of you people liked my nugent song i wrote this morning.....damn, i thought it was a good one...”

“Whats that Nugent secret???? "kill it and add fire".

You guys hear about that elk that took out a little JET plane the other day. The passagers just made it out before the plane went up into flames. Apparently the airport had no fence around it, so much for Homeland Defense!

Would any of you folks try to salvage some meat/ hide if you hit a deer with your car? Looking for free cured hides anybody got any they have no need for?”

“Violin, the metro park in question has homes TOO CLOSE for hunting. Who cares what Engler thinks about it.

Maybe I can go halfway on your Biologist's theroy of reproduction skyrocketing after a successful hunting season. It makes sense that there would be less competition for food and more territory, so numbers would increase.

It's our responsibility to thin the herds, every year. We destroyed the preditors that keep the deer in check.

Rox, I feel like perhaps you might be taking this alittle too much to heart. Relax, it's just a discusion. It's not like anyone called you a drunken blood thirsty killer or anything. And, I was refering to meat consumption when I said a deer will feed us for 1 year. Of course we eat vegetables and fruit. We even grow some of them ourselves.”

“I'd definately keep the deer if I ever hit one, almost got one in my driveway once. Lots of deer around my house. Have eaten partridge that I've hit. I bring home other dead critters for other reasons, but we don't need to go there... =}”

“Okay then, Twig. Sorry we went there. I'm frightened really! LOL!”

“Sass - The reason Engler favors hunting in Metroparks is that the hunting community wants to perform deadly rituals closer to the anti-hunting suburbanites to make them indifferent to their blood sport. Hunters know that apathy benefits their bloody rites.”

“I think it is because they want to get even with the PETA crowd who comes into the woods where they know there are hunters to scare away the game. so they come into their neighborhoods to scare away the real estate agents :-D”

“That works for me.”

“Hunters = Terrorists”

“Violin, I think it is absolutely hilarious that you were able to work in the use of the phrase, "blood sport." LOL!”

“Haven't really been following this thread, but...

In AK, when a moose is hit, volunteers are called out and they salvage the meat for charity. I always thought that was a good idea.”

“Virtually every serial killer started with animals before moving on to human victims.

Jack the Ripper would slice his victims from throat to genitals, while Jeffrey Dahmer would chop them up and eat bits of them. Sound familiar?

There is no reasoning with the mad.”

“I'm sure you're the perfect vegetarian, Violin.

I'd love to see what would happen if they trappee and moved the deer in the metroparks, though.”

“You can do that in Maine as well Pathman, there's a name for the program but I don't know what it is. The person who hit the critter has first dibs though.
Usually in a moose-car collision here, the moose walks away and the person doesn't.”

“There is a new book by Patricia Cornwell about Jack the Ripper. Sounds interesting.”

“In AK the person who hit the moose has no right to it, I believe.”

“Interesting, why is that?”

“People up there would be out hunting using a vehicle as their weapon.”

“In Kansas, you hit it, you eat it.”

“Here you are required to call the game warden, or the police who then call the warden, and it is investigated then and there to prove that you didn't hit it on purpose. Getting caught with untagged game is big trouble.

But a moose? Only someone with a death wish would hit one on purpose.”

“Yep, twig. I know that firsthand. I have seen the results of moose and bison vs vehicle.

Many in AK are also killed by the railroad.”

“I can't verify this, so maybe I shouldn't post it, but, I have heard that all serial killers, at one time, if only breifly, had a mother.

Hmmmmmmm, makes you think doesn't it?”

“It's a carpeted highway in these parts.”

“KILL ALL DEER IN GEORGIA! (sat @ 5:00)”

“I'm starting to feel a bit blood thirsty. Violin, where'd you say you live? Maybe I'll come by and see you, after I go drop off another rock in Jello Fog's driveway.”

“lol sass”

“Oh #&%!$.

I just remembered Sassafras has my address!

=80”

“...and she is a confirmed blood-thirsty killer!

=80”

“Run away! Run away!”

“Serpentine!”

“Oh yeah, that's right! I forgot I already have your address, thanks for reminding me. =)










I got new snowshoes today....woohoo!”
