Ravens are just crows that took PED's.

Me too. We have a few around and the thought of walking up to that large dead pure white animal just gives me a wierd feeling. May as well have a horn coming out of its head.

walleyed would never shoot a bear of any species

unless the bear was about to cause bodily harm

to a human being.

Have had the rifle/shotgun mounted and safety off

on around a half dozen brown bear on the Alaskan

Peninsula during the 1980's while guiding sport fishermen

but luckily never had to follow through.

domesticated cats are at the top of my list of what too shoot , they do not belong outside free roaming . period

my own daughters are "cat people" I live with cats I don't like it but I live with it till they are out of college and can take them with them. but as a responsible cat owners they need to make sure they never go outside to be an invasive species.

as for what I wouldn't shoot , Humming birds and birds to small to make a meal of are safe. the cats take more than enough of them any way.

I guess I could find a reason to shoot nearly anything that is being a nuisance but anything that I don't care to eat can have a pass as long as it doesn't make a nuisance of it's self and isn't an invasive species.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

A bear. I don't like bear meat. For me, it's comparable to eating a black lab, hypothetically of course. I've never eaten a black lab, but have tried bear a number of times. Yuk!


Funny how drinking 8 cups of water a day seems like a lot, but 8 beers in 3 hours goes down like a fat kid on a see-saw.

Donkey, wouldn't want to shoot a horse either but Donkeys are really smart. Donkeys along with Horses should be hunted hard in the west but are protected, if they were not I still wouldn't want to shoot one.

Sandhill crane.
I have hunted many things in many places but the idea of shooting a crane just does not appeal to me.

I'll probably never shoot a methhead unless I catch them stealing from me or they break in while I'm home.
