Smarter was tongue in cheek. Within the last decade or so I remember Gore, Bush, Kerry, Clinton in hunting exhibitions, always birds. I'm sure there are other examples, but why always birds? Obviously they presume that's viewed more favorably than hunting something on four legs.

Why birds? They are easier to hunt and you can get alot more of them. Plus you don't have to worry as much about someone hitting your dogs as much by accident.

Man, you lost me on that statement. Sounds like someone who has never shot at a small flying object, with dogs in close proximity.

Try shooting a dove sometime. I hit a lot of clouds and waste a lot of ammunition, but it's the comraderie (sp) I'm there for -- and the gumbo, watching the dogs work, etc.
