I'd agree, but I'd rather not have to go to Ohio. :-)

Jeff,

I actually asked myself this a few years ago.

I spent quite a few years in England in the 60's and 70's.

Had a great time.

Then one day in the 90's I was standing in at Earl's Court in London one afternoon, and a funny thought came to me.

There were quite a few young people around, none looked normal to me.

They all had funny coloured hair, studs sticking from every part of their anatomy.

I went into the Boots Chemist, and was met as I entered with a drunk customer, having an argument with a security guard.

He was trying to be very polite, and the woman was being as obnoxious as she could.

And suddenly I thought to myself, what the hell has happened to GREAT BRITAIN??

A while back here in Dubai, I was with a friend in the supermarket, and bought a gun magazine.

At the check out counter, and English woman who I never met before, was behind me.

She saw the magazine, and said "why do you want to buy a gun magazine?"

"I turned to her and said "to deal with stupid, nosy women who have nothing better to do but stick their noses into other people's business"!

You should have seen her jaw drop.

My friend was laughing so much, and said "that'll teach the bitch!"

I'm not a fan of it either but to each his own.

Hey grumulkin, I've got a cancelation hunt available.
Hunt takes place in sw Ohio on 29 acres low fence. Spot and stalk. 5 days hunting
1x1 $2500. Includes day rate, trophy fee, transfers on farm, lodging. You can take a brown one, red one, black one, or any combo of the three. Other colors are extra as they may not be available in this conservancy. You will need a good pair of gum boots. I will personally guide these hunts.

It really is sad.This is a country that Hitler should have been able to destroy but was not.

Now look at them.

On the other hand, I fear the USA is not lagging far behind.

We do lead the world in minding other peoples business.

It seems we have bred a world full of busy bodies that think they have a right to tell others how they should live.
Earlier in my life most people minded their own business, not now.(maybe because we all had to get up and go to work & didn't have time to set & watch stupid TV shows)
They ALL know better how I should live than I do myself.
If they would mind their own business they wouldn't have time to mind mine. credit Hank Jr.
And that is how we have ended up with a nanny state running our lives.

Where are these cow hunts? Who's the outfitter?

I can see there is a market for guided cow hunts. I should talk to some farmers I know and become a cow outfitter. I think trophy Black Angus and Holstein hunts would be doable.

Exactly,

Does it hurt us as hunters to "engineer animals" Probably!

Do I give a flying monkey fornication?

Not in the least!

I wonder if SCI is financing this, so they can have more INNER CIRCLES

Grumulkin

There is no Puritanism here folks; I believe if one wishes to hunt any of the cow species one should be able to.

This is all very new and I'm not at liberty to discuss any relationship to SCI at this time or any inner circle or slams. When I have more information that I can release, I'll be sure to post it here.

I know there are naysayers, but there is a large variety of cow species in Ohio but, to be perfectly honest, one would not be able to get an SCI slam just by hunting in Ohio. For Texas Longhorns, you would probably have to go to Texas as I've seen none of those in Ohio.
