This is good! Olaf Swenson, out in his pasture in northern Minnesota, took a lightning-quick kick from a cow... right in his crotch. Writhing in agony, he fell to the ground. As soon as he could manage, he took himself to the doctor. He Said, “How bad is it Doc? I'm going on my honeymoon next veek and my fiancé, Lena, is still a Virgin - in every vay.” The doctor told him, “Olaf, I'll have to put your willy in a splint to let it heal & keep it straight. It should be okay next week, but leave it on there as long as you can.” He took four tongue depressors & formed a neat little 4 sided splint & taped it all together... quite an impressive work of art. Olaf mentioned none of this to Lena, married her & they went on their honeymoon to Duluth. That night in the Motel 6, Lena ripped open her blouse to reveal her beautiful, untouched breasts. She said, “Olaf... you're the first vun! No vun has EVER seen deez.” Olaf immediately dropped his pants & replied, “Look at dis Lena ...still in DA CRATE!”

Holy Justin, Good Luck!

Very nice, yes very nice indeed.

As proof of what is said above, note the picture provided that shows you would have to boot them in the butt to get them moving. And then I wonder if they would move even then.

So you don't know how many surveys were sent out or recieved but you know its "thousands"...haha If you totaled up all of those in favor in all of the surveys you might reach @2000 in all of the years and all of the surveys done. And the ones done specificaly in the current AR areas will only reach a few hundred supporters. So please take your percentages and stick them. AR's are absolutely a social issue and nothing more, and that is 100% fact. I do like the idea I read here that its the 85% of hunters that don't kill a buck that are in favor of AR's so maybe they can kill one....lol

I suspect that the selection of 16 gauge slugs is somwhat limited. However, the 16 gauge is still quite popular in Europe, so I'm sure you can find some Brenneke slugs. When I was shooting smoothbore my 20 gauge 1100 shot Fiocchi Brennekes very well, and performance on game was excellent. Better in my opinion than foster style rifled slugs, which I felt sometimes did not penetrate well. I have an expanded 20 gauge brenneke in my " recovered projectiles" collection that traveled nearly stern to stem of a whitetail. The deer was wounded and the only shot I had was a Texas heart shot on a running deer. The slug entered a ham and came to rest under the hide on the brisket.

Don't know about any of you guys but the right temple isn't where I keep my entry womb.

Didn't take much convincing for me to go after those either...

Forest Hunter..Thanks for being a good sport ( chuckle).. I have seen a couple of precocious fawns with visible antlers, certainly bigger than buttons. Then of course, I remember a couple of early developing girls in junior high that had racks bigger than normal for thier age, too..<wink>...

There are plenty of ways to justify hunting if it becomes important to you to do that. I have seen the results of over-population among deer, and believe me it wasn't a pretty sight. I have heard the death squeal of a rabbit that someone already mentioned. It's a pretty hideous sound as an owl or some other predator rips chunks of meat out of the critter. I have seen the results of a deer kill after dogs had run it to ground over a long distance, weakening it a bite at a time until it fell from blood loss. I would imagine that coyotes operate in the same way. I have put down a coon suffering from distemper, and a fox suffering from an extreme case of mange. These are all very agonizing ways to die and usually are quite slow to provide relief from a suffering death. All these things remind me that it truly is the lucky critter that dies by my bullet. Mother Nature's ways of disposing of the critters is not a very kind or gentle way. I suspect that none of them die peacefully in their bed from old age. Disney painted a pretty tranquil and innocent picture of the lives of animals living merrily in the wild, but that was pure fantasy as it was intended to be. The realities are much more harsh ..... everytime. Whenever you get "hunter's remorse", just think about the alternate ways that your prey has of dying. That might help with any guilt feelings you might have. Also when talking about the ethics and morality of hunting, I agree that you always should make every effort to provide as humane a death as possible. I think it is also important to use the animal in whatever way is practical when there is a practical use for it. But I don't rate any animal as unhuntable simply because I can't eat it. If I can eat it, that's a bonus. What I don't do is to spend a lot of time anguishing over the fact that hunting usually means death as an end product. Hunting and the results of hunting simply inserts me into the natural cycle of life and death in the wild that is part of existance. And I see myself as one of the positive forces in that cycle.

Bingo!
