Mule Deer Hunting in the West is the complete opposite of East Coast Whitetail hunting; you're practically on top of the deer when you shoot them in the East, and there's a lot more population, so that's why some states have banned rifles for deer; out West you're picking off deer from one mountain to the next mountain...odd they'd ban shotguns since I can't imagine why someone would want to use them.

"KERRY CAN'T SHOOT DEER OR STOP TERROR."

Or throw a baseball hard enough to reach home plate from the pitchers mound at a Red Sox game.

I will stand up and struggle, as others have, to try to get that right balance between violence and sex and things.

The funniest line in a hilarious article - and it's a quote from the candidate trying to sound serious. And people are still going to vote for this guy? THAT'S funny.

If Kerry the Klown gets elected this election cycle, we're coming out the other side in a civil war.

Make up your own - get a photo of the Sears Tower and put the caption, "Vote Kerry - the Sears Tower is an eyesore anyway."

They might hunt deer with a 12 guage. I don't hunt anymore,cuz it's banned in eastern RI,even on my own land, but I don't believe you can hunt with a rifle in Ma, except .22.

For deer, I think there's only slug, archery and black powder for a couple days.

Not that the overpopulation of deer isn't a problem, but nothing overcomes the rampant communism of the Gay State, (sodo)Massachussetts.

This is going to be like watching a trainwreck. You can see it coming...and there's no way to stop it...yet you can't look away.

> Do they hunt deer with a "12-guage double-barrel" back East?

They do in Iowa. Required by law.

Probably from the American media, who seem barely to recognise Kerry's principal defect – his boring self-righteousness – perhaps because it's also theirs.

That's the problem of a significant number of American voters too (hello baby boomers.) These voters won't notice that Kerry is dangerously self-absorbed and couldn't possibly possess the vision necessary to run a country at war. But these voters won't care in the least, because they want someone "compassionate" and "intelligent" in the Oval Office - someone "like me."

And that scares me. I mean, even money says Kerry wins. I pray for Bush, and in all honesty I pray for a Bush win. But frankly I'm preparing myself emotionally now for a Kerry victory. Sorry if this drags people down.

Yup, the law in Massachusetts says deer can only be hunted in the "regular season" with shotguns loaded with slugs. They do have an archery and black powder seasons.


Figures. They might hit someone in anther state

IIRC, in my old home state of Oklahoma, deer can be taken by means of bow/arrow, crossbow (for
archers with physical challenges), blackpowder rifle, shotgun (with slugs and
maybe also with "buckshot") and rifle.
(I suspect that high-powered pistols, such as .357 Mag, .44 Mag, or chambered for
high-powered rounds, like with the Thompson Contender Pistol might also be legal).

One year the biggest buck taken in the state was brought down by a young boy (early teen?)
with a single shotgun slug at a range of about 30 yards.

From the front of the mound no less.

That caught my attention too...but I did recall there being such a thing as "buck-shot".
