No sense trying to convice ol Gruss otherwise... He's all grown up and enlightened and stuff. All his neighbors think so too I'm sure. Also no sense in trying to tell him that a .50 caliber weapon is the appropriate tool for the job...

What's the difference between that and > torturing puppies? Only 3 hours? I've had to track a deer for more than that after I've shot it. NO matter what you think about hunting, once you've shot the animal, its your responsibility to make sure that it doesn't suffer. By leaving the animal wounded, you're ensuring that it suffers a painful and ugly death. Its more merciful to put it out of its misery than to let it die from its wounds. I've seen Inuit and Dene track wounded animals for days rather than let the animals suffer from its wounds. I could not do differently. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:235683 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
