tis the season...or not

so this was posted on slate's round-up of other magazines, from Time: "Hunting is on the decline, according to a piece. As Americans move to cities and hunters age, the number of hunting-license holders has dropped. Regulations, lawsuits, and the allure of video games as a substitute have turned many young people away from an activity the author cherishes: 'It's hard to kill something, but you develop deep appreciation of animals and the outdoors when you do it regularly.'" !!!

rob, i'm really glad you're helping to curb this disturbing trend. meanwhile a second cousin was apparently successful on his yearly hunting trip, and my brother mocked me when i told him "jay caught a deer."

I'll confess that I'll occasionally indulge in hunting video games too... Kind of gets frustrating when a bear attacks you every 5 minutes, though. That's the nice thing about ducks. They don't bite.
