Sometimes I dont get hunters...

Got nothing at all against hunting. If you want to go shoot stuff and eat it go ahead.

But... today I woke up to a solid overcast sky, raining, and tempratures right around upper 30's to low 40's. Nasty day out I thought to myself and pulled the covers up closer and snuggled in.

Im woken again with Pup... pup... pup pup ... Well Ill be some crazy duck hunters out there in this crap. "Perfect weather for duck hunting"

Sure you enjoy yourself now

I'll stay inside where its warm and dry thanks. If I want a duck Ill run down to the meat market and buy one.

Pfft...w/the right gear, just about any environment is bearable, or even enjoyable!!!

Well sometimes I sit out in my back yard at night and use a telescope in cold weather for hours.

Some would call the crazy too but at least it aint raining

Gimme cold weather over heat anyday. Sure, it's harder to get going, but it's a lot easier to warm up than it is cool down

We sure are opposites on that one.
C'mon summer.

I can see how people get a thrill from the hunt, stalking prey and such, I quite enjoy stalking players in online games, lining up for the shot and them not knowing what hit them. Of course, the best thing for humans is that animals don't shoot back...

I don't get hunting really either, not on live targets, and yeah, I heard exactly the same thing in pretty much the same condictions this morning. I've even heard them popping away over on the marshes in the pouring rain with a strong wind...I mean...what the heck could they hit in that?

When I first moved to Utah I fell in love with the winters, since I had never lived through one before. Now I've reached an age where I still like them, but my joints sure don't. Nothing I love more than to lie in the sun in mid-July.
