Re: Cheney shoots fellow hunter

Susan, I'm sure you are correct about how they hunt in Texas. Unfortunately, over the years we have had to put up with Texas hunters when they come over here. I don't call what they do in Texas hunting. I just call it killing.

I hunted with the same guy, Fred, for over 30 years. We had some hard and fast rules. The first was no drinking until the guns were unloaded, put away, and we had supper. Then the 7&7 would be brought out, and Fred and his brother Garey would take most of Neal's money. I had no idea how to play Blackjack, and Fred would switch to it each time he got the deal.

We took our kids from the time they were very young, and now Fred is teaching his son-in-law about hunting. Bet he will be a good one!

Around the campfire there were always "Neal Stories" to tell, some old ones and occasionally a new one. They all seemed to get better and more outlandish as the years went on. As most of you probably know from my misdirected e-mail, I am going to see Fred, Carolin, Garey and his family, and Karl and Laura, Fred's grown kids, next week. I can hardly wait!!

Yes, I know about hunting quail and turning your back but I loved the
description of this hunting -- this is farm raised. They pull up in their
fat cat cars and sit in them then BS and I'm sure drink as that is what
hunters do (don't kid me Neal I do know hunters) sloth out there and fire at
these poor things and that's it back to the car! Wow, what a sport! This
is hunting in Texas all on ranches that are heavily stocked (remember LBJ
his ranch was so heavily stocked it wasn't even a sport!)
