John Kerry appears brandishing a shotgun whenever he can and claims to be an "avid" hunter. I don't know what kind of an animal and avid is, but his now famous deer hunting quote makes me think it improbable that he has ever really hunted. I wrote the following to the MA game commisioner and got no repsonse: August 9, 2004
Commissioner David Peters Department of Fish and Game 251 Causeway St., Suite 400 Boston, MA 02114
Re: Public Records Act Request Hunting Licenses for John Forbes Kerry
Dear Mr. Peters,
I would like to request copies of any documentation reflecting hunting licenses issued to Senator John Forbes Kerry. Enclosed please find a check for ten dollars ($10.00) to cover copying costs. Please refund the difference if this is excessive. I have also enclosed a self-addressed-stamped envelope for your convenience. Feel free to give me a call if there are additional fees or if you require any additional information from me.
Very truly yours,
Does anybody know of a way to fact-check Kerry's pose as a hunter? I think that the record would show that he is either a liar or a poacher.
Just make sure you get your $10 back. ;-)
Something about hunting deer with a shotgun.
asked what kind of hunting he preferred. "I'd have to say deer," said the senator. "I go out with my trusty 12-gauge double-barrel, crawl around on my stomach... That's hunting."
Hunting with a shotgun is required in some heavy-populated areas. You wouldn't use a double though, you'd want something with sights. Also the part about crawling around on his stomach is absolutely ridiculous.
Will this make the animal rights activists vote for Nader? I doubt it.
found this and it didn't cost $10.00 either!! In an article written by Nedra Pickler, Associated Press Writer 10-21-04:
"Hunting is of particular interest in several of the states that are still up for grabs in the presidential race. Kerry bought his hunting license last Saturday in one of the most critical - Ohio, which has 20 electoral votes.
Kerry bought the nonresident license and a special wetlands habitat stamp, which lets him hunt waterfowl."
So, he's still the biggest jerk since Clinton, but at least he's not a poacher! :)
