| Kind of makes me wonder how he can hunt with all those secret
service people around him. Do they all hit the ground when a quail
goes up?? :^)

| Yah, but did you hear his answer to the question of how he could
possibly kill *animals*? He said that he was shooting wild birds
which are not animals. (?) And then went on to say, it wasn't as
if he were shooting deer or something. Someone better send him
the arguments for the antis so that he can come up with a better
answer next time. I give him credit for saying that the birds
wouldn't suffer because he is a good shot. :-)

| Granted, he did botch up that interview to some extent. However,
it wasn't a practiced speach and it must be hard to answer questions
when you know it will be twisted 30 different ways by the time it
got to press (especially on a topic such as this). I saw the
interview on TV and he did mention something about how our fore-
fathers were hunters to put meat on the table, etc. The sentence
I heard about deer was not "It's not like I was shooting a deer",
it was "I like bird hunting but I don't know if I could shoot a
deer".
Too bad he didn't take the time to elaborate on his answer. It
would have been a great opportunity to blast some antis from the
top!

Not that it would have done any good.

| 323.5 | picture of bush in the paper | QBUS::LIBS | | Thu Dec 29 1988 16:05 | 11 |
| saw a picture of george in yesterdays atlanta paper. said it was
from his hunt on tuesday and he bagged several birds. pic shows
hin carrying what looks like a sxs double in his left hand with
the muzzle at about a 45 degree angle above the horizontal, being
held by the wrist of the stock and finger definately outside of
the trigger guard. showing good safe gun handling.
surprised the press didnt try to get a pic of him with the finger
on the trigger....

| A friend of mine used to drive for Reagan and Bush (he is in the
Army) and now sets up communication wherever Bush goes. I guess
he must be a lifer. Anyways he tells me that George Bush always
comes up to him and asks him to go hunting with him, which he does.
I think I heard Sal mention that he does deer hunt. I think he does
most of his hunting in Texas. Must get a special license for the
big guy.
