DEER DRIVE ON OLN
I had the displeasure of watching OLN last night. It was a show featuring a multitude of "hunters" in head-to-toe blaze orange converging on a hillside harboring unsuspecting deer. First off, as safe as these folks claim to be and even want to be, it looked to me to be about as dangerous as running through downtown Najaf wearing an American Flag. Lead flying through the air everywhere. It pretty much reminded me of upland bird hunting but with a much larger target that can't fly or even hide but can take lots and lots more buck shot before going down. From what I saw all kills were a group effort with more than one gun being involved. No care was made as to what was shot at....it was the ole addage, "if it's brown, it's down" in full form. However, it seemed that the one closest to the deer when it finally died with an extra 50lbs of lead shot was the lucky one to claim "their" deer. I hope friends and family that may see a show like this realize that when I bow hunt, it is absolutely dissimilar to anything remotely similar to this "style" of "hunting".
