We all know about Dick Cheney's mishap, with pellets from his gun hitting a friend in the face. But few people know how the millionaire ranchers get their game? The grouse Cheney was after were raised in pens, then released into the "wilds" of a ranch. He was driven to the spot where the grouse were gathered, with Secret Service men and other aides along for the ride. His gun was handed to him and he took aim...but it ended in tragedy. My question is....can you really call this "hunting"? Is it fair to the game you are seeking if they are protected and fed until you decide to chase them down? The hunters I know trudge through the woods after wild game and the birds or animals have a fighting chance. Do you call this programmed, arranged target shoot a "hunting trip"?
