So I' m passing through the living room last night and the wife is watching some show on the Discovery Channel about Witch Hunting in Massachusetts. Since I was on my way to a cold beer, and to tie some flies out in the mud room, I didn' t sit to watch, but it got me thinking...Why in the hell would anybody want to hunt Witches?
I' ve never actually seen one in person, but if I remember my children' s books correctly, they' re just a bunch of broken-down old women! I mean, really. From every picture I' ve ever seen they' re all old and bowed over; can' t be much of a challenge bringin' one down. And besides, why would you want to kill ' em? They look all stringy and bony. Probably wouldn' t be very good eatin' . And ugly?...HOOOEEE! Even if you did get a big one, would you really want to hang her nasty melon on the wall in the rumpus room at home!? The kid' s wouldn' t be able to sleep and the dogs' hair would probably fall out!

Anyway, it seemed a bit strange to me. Any of you guys ever hunted ' em? Bow or gun? I would imagine they come in season around Halloween.

Thanks,
Beans.

P.S. Sorry if I posted on the wrong board. I' m not sure if they' d be considered big or small game, or perhaps even upland game, as I believe they are known to fly
