Ed these guns were built for blood sport. Almost all the Parker, Fox, and Ithaca side by sides were built for killing birds for sport. Many if not most of our members take these guns out and use them in blood sports. If our posts about blood sports make you feel bad please don't let our fondness for you make you feel obligated to keep coming here.

mike: it might be worth while to have a discussion about blood sports, but, it does not seem to be appropriate to this thread nor to this forum. perhaps we could continue this elsewhere?

Life, to a carnavor is all about killing and eating. There is no moral imperative. Crows are a pest, but really there is no requirement to justify the killing of any game. I don't eat coyotes or feral cats, but I do, or have, killed them. At one time I did my very best to kill as many humans of a certain persuasion as I could. One can, of course become a monk, or a Hindu and eschew killing of all kinds, that's okay by me. But if a nice fat cock bird bursts out of the long grass I'm going to bust'em.

steve: we all need to reach a balance where we are at peace with ourselves and with those we wish to be at peace with...the trick is maintaining that peace, particularly when guilt rears its ever present head...

books: germaine? is it really necessary to bring the na zis into this?

you started this thread with a reference to your new "crow killer".

you did not say anything about crow hunting, as i recall.

course now, we can get into a discussion about the difference between hunting and killing, if you like? but not here. it just dont seem propriate...

ed you say you don't think it is appropriate to discuss it here yet you started this discussion about the morality of blood sports by giving Mr. Lester an elbow in the ribs for shooting crows. Then you say again you don't think this is the place to have a discussion and in the same paragraph try to differentiate killing from hunting.

I think it is hilarious that a double gun dealer is anti-hunting. Do your require that your prospective purchasers agree not to hunt with the gun?
