Thread Name: BS: Guns and hunting
Subject: Guns and hunting
On Saturday i was sitting here at the pc and every few minutes there was the sound of sirens,ambulances,cops,fire trucks etc.Later on i went up to the pub for a pint and find out what was going on.
The story goes,two of the lads were in the woods moose hunting,brothers,one thought the other was behind him but it turns out he was off to the side.Anyway,it seems there was some kind of commotion in the trees and the older brother turned and fired.Yes,you've got it!It was the younger one.Died right away.
This is a small town and most everyone knows each other or are related in one way or another.
It's bad enough but at Christmas makes it worse.
So PLEASE,all you hunters out there,is it worth it?With the cost of the rifle,licence,ammo,gas,truck,snowmobile etc.You could buy a lot of steaks with the money and it is a lot safer.
