Re: Holidays and Hunting
You need to ask your neighbour if he is an intelligent farmer .... that should go down well ... or offer him some tin foil ?

Re: Holidays and Hunting
I routinely shoot skunks, squirrels, racoons, similar, they are vermin, they do a lot of damage and are general nuisance.
I have hunted Black Bear, I do hunt wild turkies, Deer, Moose,and of course Ducks and Geese.
We have to purchase licenses for most of what we hunt, we eat the meat, we are not there for the experience.
Hunting is totally necessary to control the population, in this area many accidents happen due to cars running into an animal that strays on to the highway.
I also fish a lot, Salmon, Bass, trout.
Meat in a Supermarket is full of chemicals designed to slow the rotting of the meat or improve its' colour.
Personally, I have no use for trophy hunters, generally rich Foreigners.
I met an American years ago who hunted Grizzlies with a knife and a Bow, I thought he was nuts.

One of them was wearing a Stetson, but nary a foil headpiece in view.

I dared not say anything to him after I had commited the terrible faux pas of offering him a corn chip. He's a potato farmer.
