I have found him funny on occasion in a stupid way, no I feel he is not only stupid, but ignorant.

This is from the same guy who said on air that women have no place on the sidelines of a football game giving sideline analysis. This guy is an idiot from the word go. The bottom line is this; he is a guy with limited talent who is coming to grips with the fact that his time in the limelight is about over. No one care what he says anymore and no on watches that show he's on. So he's decided to make some comments about women and some comments about hunters to stir some controversy. Controversy equals air time and air time equals extended time in the limelight. Although his comments bother me, I'm disregarding what he said. Getting upset about his comments only gives him what he wants. Goodbye Mr. Rooney, your career is about over.

P.S. Why is it that old people on TV are so grumpy? Maybe it's all those hotlights make their Depends uncomfortable to wear.

First of all Andy Rooney is nothing but a DUMBASS LEFT-WING LIBERAL WHACKO. I get so sick and tired of people like him in the media that dont know a single thing about hunting. whether if its with a bow or gun or anything else for that matter trying to preach lies about us as a group to the non-hunting public. What we all need to do is write letters to our local newspapers and expain to them all the good things we do, like pumping millions and millions of dollars into the economy in the places that need it most, and programs like HUNTERS FOR THE HUNGRY. Its not business as usual for us anymore because of people like him in a biased LIBERAL MEDIA. We have to make our voices heard plain and simple. And as far as deepfrying turkeys, thats the only way to cook them as far as Im concerned.

Well, the way I read it, he's ok with hunting with a rifle, but not with a bow. Acknowledging the need for wildlife manegment, but not having an understanding of what a hunting bow is. Since he is on a major telivision news program I would bet he's a liberal, or at least somewhat against hunting/trapping/guns. I'm no expert, just my 2 cents. I have found him funny on occation too but mostly in a ignorant kind of way.

I would also like to try a deep fried turkey, I love deep fried anything.

If you notice , Andy is always alone making his unbased and unproven statements on subjects he knows probably nothing about. Maybe he should start a debate type show but we all know he isn't capable of any kind of debate. Think I've figured the whole thing out, He is jealous of Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh. I am a Factor fan because it doesn't matter the subject or content Bill will debate and also listen to your points of view.

Does anyone REALLY like a complainer? Thats all I ever hear when he is on, complain, complain, complain.

At work we have a little saying, if you have a problem, bring me a solution. My solution is to not watch Andy.

I was in my local barber shop last year talking with my barber about the deer I had gotten the week earlier. There was an old FART that came in to get his bald spot shinned. Well, he hears me talking about deer hunting (with my recurve) when he decides to join in the conversation. He commences to tell everyone there about the 3 guys &quot;bow hunting&quot; his neighbors property & all the HIGH TECH gadgets they used to kill this deer.. cam traker, trail timers & as he put it &quot;DEER P*SS.&quot; He starts talking about all the pic's they had of this monster buck & that they knew exactly when & where he was (the deer was moving at 2 to 4 AM) & how all they did was walk out into the woods & kill that poor deer!! I said Well, I spoke with that land owner about it & he said they had ben hunting that deer for TWO years & finally got him!! Well, he shut up. I was really tempted to tell him what I thought of him & his kind.. but, I didn't. I just said, It's a good thing that deer is dead.. God forbid, you could have hit him in your truck & it go threw your windshield & kill you!! These people are the same ones that have to be shown the difference between their @$$ & a hole in the ground!! I treat them like frost on my windshield.. I just turn up the heat & they go away!!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Consider the source!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

No really, he's well educated, well spoken, but like most in the media; just out for the publicity and usually opening topics just for shock appeal and the sake of arguement.

He has my professional and respectful response. Again, read my first sentence.



Shoot often - Hunt always
