Peta Bambi O'DonnellHunt for sport? What?! How dare you!
This is my first post here, and i've never been so offended in my intire life!
How dare you hunt animals who did zilch to you.
Wanna take this up with me, then meet me in my home town and lets talk about it...

SaeedPeta Bambi O'Donnell,
May be this is the wrong thing to say, but, being the host here, I will anyway.
Welcome to the forum.
May I ask what the hell you are doing on a hunting forum?
This is a place for those of us who enjoy hunting with all its many faces.
We enjoy hunting birds, from sparrows to ostriches, which we shoot and enjoy eating.
We shoot seaguls, crows and ferall pigeons, because we consider them vermin.
We shoot game animals, which we enjoy eating. They range from the tiny steinbuck, which is great on a BBQ! to elephants. I personally have not eaten elephant, but from the looks on the African's faces, they certainly enjoy it.
May I suggest you visits PETA.COM - that is People Eating Tasty Animals. They have an enormous database of recipes for all kind of feathered and furried creatures.
By the way, we just had an ostrich ghoulash! Absolutely delicious with wild rice

Saeed,
It's a silly American custom. On April 1st everyone plays jokes on everyone else. I don't know the reason or history behind it but that's what we do. Look at that posters profile.....it will say 'April Fools'.

jorgeHopefully, this email will put pay to this thread. April Fools is a FRENCH CUSTOM, dating form the time we switched to the Gregorain Calendar. Some hardcore folks refused to abide by the new calendar ( saying it would never work) and retained 1 April as the first day of the new year. Hence, "APril Fools." jorge

bmpreglerIf April Fool's Day is French, count me out from now on, let the Dixie Sluts and Michael Moore have it all to themselves.

Sauenj�ger1Not only french or american. At least in Germany also. And I think in some other countries also.
Just today Blaser told, that they want to stop the R93 production. Reason is the critic of the hunters. And that they can sell the rest of the stock, you get a mauser as an extra free of charge.
Best regards
