Evidently, you haven't been to the States lately... there'r more deer here now than before Columbus washed up, turkey are becoming common road kill, and coyote numbers are up (a sure sign that there's plenty for them to eat). America won't ever have too many guns, and it's become damned hard to find a long gun to hunt with in Australia.

America is spelled with a capital A. Some of us are proud of that, and our Right to bear arms.

But I do love them. I love them all. Prepared properly, they taste like chicken. <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I don't think felons, rapist, pedophiles taste like chicken at all. They taste more like gamey house cat meat. Its too stringy with no meat. the skin is all wrinkles and dried like desert cactus. of course , they serve as good target practice for the newbie marksman.

It is too bad America law doesn't allow citizen to do annual hunt of felons release into desert. Any hunter who shoots a felon receive a decent reward. It must be a good kill with rifle or knife. Cheating isn't allowed. That should be the way to get rid of the low life crap in our society. Why should we pay our tax dollar to feed, house these despicable scums.

Well, let's see....

In the past five days I've seen a bull moose (VERY destructive and violent when in rut), about a dozen deer, and a momma fox with her kids. And one very confused and unhealthy acting woodchuck that was either interrupted while brushing it's teeth or was rabid. And thats in my front yard.

The moose are over thier carrying capacity, as are the deer. Starving to death is much less plesant than one behind the ear, but I haven't had a hunting liscence in years.

The fox I have no beef with, becuase the cats are only allowed outside in a enclosed area.

And the woodchuck is how I spent my afternoon today, talking with Fish and Game. Not the first time I've had to deal with a rabid animal around here, and the next time they tell me to do something more than bury or burn the body will be the first.

So, I would say we have game, sport. Don't try to [censored] people off, becuase you've been around long enough to know that this is something that if your statement is inflamitory here.

Oh, and the hat is described as dashing. You should see the leather one with the plume in it that I wear at ren faires.

Actually, they will taste like pork with a slight beef undertone.

Being an Aussie, I can say that it is a military style diggers hat as others have already said. As they have also said, it doesnt get in the way while using a riffle.
When viewed worn by the military, it also has insignia badging on the folded up side.

No, its not hard at all to find. But it is getting harder to own and find a place to shoot.

Hence the term, long pig <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'm not a pig. They're almost cute, when they are at the spit-able size.

I'm a boar. Much grumpier.
