What Do You Think

We buy a hunting liscence, deer permit, water fowl permits and whatever else we need. Then if we get caught without any of these we pay a h**l of a fine. But the VP only has to pay $8.00 because he didn't have one to shoot his hunting buddy.

Not that it matters, but I think it was $7. They had both bought the necessary $125 out of state license. There is a new upland game bird permit ($7) in TX that they were missing. The citations are weak now b/c it's a fairly new permit.

I think that it is a tragedy anytime that there is a hunting accident, regardless who is involved. Let's just be thankful that no one was killed and we all can learn a valuable lesson here involving hunter safety.

I'm still trying to figure out how a shot from 30 yds away, with a 28ga loaded with 7 1/2 shot gets through the clothes, the chest and to the heart.
The meda said, there was between 6-200 buckshot in the poor fellow.

...that's some guess

Now, I don't have a chart but I'd guess there is 3/4 oz load in a 28 ga w/7 1/2 shot, and, maybe 250 leadshot... Anyone got the real numbers?
I'd like to see a shot pattern of a 28ga 7 1/2 shot at 30 yds...don't they use Imp/C for birds? I'd guess 40".
Hope the fellow comes through ok, and everyone stays alert to their surroundings, while afield.
This is just a sad event, but I'm glad our P & VP are hunters, reguardless of their politics...

Amen to that S.R. Patch! I'm very thankful they are hunters!!! Just too bad this terrible thing happen! You know the anti's will probably use it as leverage against us in any way they can!!!

I think the man was a lawyer. That's why the fine was only $7.00!!!!!

I heard Cheney's poll ratings climbed 10% when they heard he shot a lawyer!

As coolbrze stated above this is a new permit that he was required to have my brother-in-law is a state game warden here and he said that they are only issuing warnings "to everyone" at this time for the violation[/quote]
