Of Doves and Vipers

My God, go- that made me groan in pain. Horrible, horrible.

:slight_smile:

wow. that is the longest ppost I have ever seen that could be summed up as “I’m sorry”.

Okay, Scylla. I’m sorry I called you a moron in that other thread. You would have to go a long, long way to negate all your contributions to the board, and you didn’t do it there.

Here’s a tip, though - I don’t think some people will be happy with your symbolism, however lovely, in the place of a more straightforward response. Good luck anyway.

Don’t * encourage* him!

That poor dead horse- will you people stop flogging it?

Yeesh.

on-topic:

Oh, and I agree- organized hunts like that are pathetic. Responsible husbandry of the land is one thing- “fish in a barrel” hunting is another. What’s the point?

That’s only a small step above those despicable “petting zoo” type game preserves where the game is taught through feeding not to fear humans right until the slaughter begins. Oy. That’s not hunting-- that’s slaughter.

Plus the amount of drunk hunters now make the public land woods unsafe during the season now, even in orange. Sad. :mad:

I went dove hunting before with friends.

In addition to a few dove, I also had to shoot a viper in it’s pit because the fool thing kept coming at me. Surprised me so I blew it’s head off.

The shocker was that the next day when I skinned it, it’s cold heart was still beating.

Never did forget that and I avoid them now. They’re evil.

The dove? A jalapeno wedge in a slit next to the sternum before you wrap with bacon is nice. Use mild, warm or hot depending on your personal taste.

Nice story, Scylla.

Grondhogs are a destructive agricultural pest in Central PA, where Scylla lives. They’re also wary, dig almost invulnerable bunker/burrows, and are very hard to get rid of. They’re big, agressive, and will severly damage most dogs.
Shooting is the most efficient way of getting rid of them.
