[Vision2020] New hunting protocols

[Phil Nisbet]

James

Not to put to fine a point on it, but when do you go down range without 
telling the rest of the people on the firing line where you are headed?  
Seems to me any person who wanders around loose in the brush down range of 
his hunting partners is lining himself up for a Darwin Award.  I would hope 
that you would have more sense than to do that.
