ummmm just to clear things up. The pigeons are flying when you shoot them. Clays fly in straight lines, birds fly in every direction and most people can't even hit them. They aren't walking around on the ground when they get shot. That would be insanely unsafe. Besides, as I said before all the meat that isn't taken is sent to a company that dresses the birds to feed the homeless in NY not to mention a portion of the proceeds. If I told you some of the people I have shot with upstate you would be very surprised to see their names listed. How many of you do something charitable on a regular basis?

I too am a lifetime NRA member and not to get into the whole hunting thing but, everytime you eat a steak that animal at one point was slaughtered, dressed, and shipped to your place of purchase. Everytime you buy one of Frank Purdue's chickens wrapped in celophane on a styrofoam plate you are contracting the "murder" of another chicken to replace it. That chicken didn't get plucked off a chicken tree neatly wrapped in plastic, it was slaughtered. It was raised on a farm with it's destiny predetermined before it was even an egg. Game animals atleast have a sporting chance (not to mention taste far better and don't have all the preservatives and hormone foods in them). It's easy to seperate yourself from the process when you go to a supermarket and see rows and rows of nicely wrapped hunks of meat, but somewhere someone killed that animal for you. If you are that against hunting than may I suggest that, perhaps you would enjoy being a vegan and forsake the consumption of meat all together.
