I used to think that "a" was wrong - until they made deer protected near the Indiana Dunes area back home. Within a few years the deer were small, sickly and pathetic. There just wasn't enough food for all of them to exist anymore. The Game Commission in Indiana now holds a regularly scheduled and tightly controlled shoot each year for a very short period with very strict rules about who can shoot what and the number is minimal - just enough, in other words.

So, as much as it pains me to agree with it, I've learned to.

Be that as it may, killing anything from the air seems like the worst sort of arrogance.

It's not sport, it's slaughter.
