[Vision2020] New hunting protocols

[Carl Westberg]

It's kind of funny hearing the outraged response from the right about the 
press coverage of Cheney's misadventure.  If, during the Clinton 
administration, Vice-President Gore had done the very same thing, I rather 
imagine the Sean Hannitys and the Rush Limbaughs of the radio waves would be 
waxing vitriolic.  Ann Coulter would probably be advocating Gore's 
execution.                                                                   
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                   Carl Westberg Jr.

>I am also surprised that, from 30 yards, #8 steel shot would penetrate

>the necessary mass to carry 30 yards and still have that much energy. I 
>really expect that the delay in getting the message out has something to do

>Anyone else out there care to share your planned equipment for this new

>ourselves the advantage. The adrenalin is pumping just thinking about it.
