This will be my last initiated rant thread for a while. I'm posting it because I honestly feel the need to let off steam on a few issues, namely, the lack of elbow room and the overbearing restraint of the law in today's America.
It's great for the little pawns of society whose lives hinge on such trivialities as regular paychecks, television, job promotion, and living from day to day. People whose only concern is living safely off the hard work of others, pretending to make valuable contributions to society through their insignificant "think tanks" or "awareness walkathons".
But as for the rest of us. Let's talk about American manhood for a moment. You can't even go fishing anymore without a state license. You can't own a dog without a dog license. You can't bag more than one deer per tag during a single season in most places. Hunting has turned into one big, lame game of orange hide and seek-- not from game, but from other hunters. I'm fed up with it-- all the big talk that accompanies the modern hunt. What it all amounts to is driving to a treestand in an SUV, setting up a salt-lick, then playing Nintendo on a tree-branch, waiting for some unsuspecting deer to wander by. Jesus Christ. Get out of your stands, numbnuts. See how far you get before either getting shot or feeling too cold to continue.
What happened to the days of pure adventure? Where can you go for a real hunt, as in, bag as many elk as possible? The answer is, nowhere. That's right. Thanks to all the liberal BS on animal rights, we're lucky if we can even make it out of a supermarket with ground beef. So head to your gun retailers, fill our your background forms, then sit in your office every day reading Outdoorsman, mulling over all the nonsense that some amatuer wannabe hunter (magazine columnist) has slapped together and passed off as "expertise".
And then there's the matter of self-protection. If an intruder breaks into your home and you shoot him, guess who gets arrested? That's right, you do. What happened to the days when it was legal to simply call someone out on a dueling field to end a quarrel the right way? In today's world, we have to ignore all the bullcrap poured on us by unrelenting cowards who hide behind protection of the law. They know they can get away with it, while our hands remain tied. Whether it's the IRS or your next-door neighbor, or just anyone who wants to open their big mouth.
Yes friends, I'm fed up with it. That's putting it mildly.
