Hunting comandment

[Gary Laudermilch]

The ground swatters see grouse just as "meat". Grouse are deserving of so much more. I'm afraid I'll never be able to comprehend treating them so callously, traditions be damned.

To some it is all about the '' get'' as in wad ya get. If you say 10 flushes 4 shots and 1bird they say to bad,better luck next time. Do not accept an invitation to hunt with them.Met a state trooper in Maine he was patrolling log road and asked how i was doing. Told me he got 15 first week of october. I asked if he had to get out of the cruiser for any of the shots.I guess thats why i have a hard time making new friends.

Are they not just birds, or are the mythical ? Some folks just plain like eating them. I happen to agree with the sentiment here that they do deserve respect, like all animals. But if folks just want them for the "pot" that's fine to.
