I just seen Jay Leno on tv, and he spoke of VP Cheny being on a pheasent hunting trip. To me, thats cool! A hunting VP. <BR>Since Teddy Roosevelt, has there been other hunting Presidents/Vice Presidents? ~~~Suluuq

LBJ hunted deer before he got to be president I know for sure but afterwards I am not sure about. Bush the elder was a quail hunter and Dubwa has been known to shoot doves.<BR>BCR

Bush Sr. used to be quite a hunter and was a life member of the NRA but gave it up over some kind of disagreement with Wayne LaPierre From what i'm told. [img]images/icons/crazy.gif" border="0[/img]

How about that duck hunter extraordinaire ....<BR>Bill Clinton?? [img]images/icons/laugh.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/laugh.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/laugh.gif" border="0[/img] <P>Seriously though, Ronald Reagan must have done some hunting, right? Sadly, all I can remember is his recommendation to put a moratorium on hunting mountain lion in California. Btw, Jay Leno rates right up there with Rosie O'Fatass and Ted Kennedy in my book ... much prefer to watch Dave Letterman. Just my .02

Loud Cloud... I usually don't care for Leno either, I just catch his monolog on occasion, but can't stand Letterman much at all, especially his music man. I miss Johnny Carson, and never seen Leno for years after, until about a year ago. ~~~Suluuq

FYI, i remember that Bush Sr. quit the NRA after one of their letters or something referred to the ATF as "jack booted thugs".

I had a picture clipped from the newspaper, of Ole Slick Willy returning from a so-called duck hunt (i.e. photo-op), with some guy (guide? secret service?) carrying his gun and Bill carrying a couple ducks. It was on the wall at work, an irony as art sort of thing, but it has disappeared. I work at a University, bastion of the liberal bed-wetter (isn't it amazing how the simplest minds are often the most educated?), and stuff like that is deemed terribly offensive - anything intended to make fun of The Almighty Bill, glorifying the killing of God's creatures, that sort of thing, so it doesn't last long sometimes. Same thing happened to my sign outside my door that read "These Premises Protected by Smith and Wesson Salesman Deterrent Device." That one only lasted a few days. -al

Wasn't Jimmy Carter into killing rabbits with primitive weapons, AKA, boat paddles? Or was he just scared sh*tless at the sight of a swimming bunny, killing it before it climbed on board and wreaked havoc with his Secret Service fishing guide?

I remember Slick Willie doing a little Dear calling. His call went something like...<BR>Hey baby,Leader of the free world here,why don't you slide over here and give me some sugar [img]images/icons/tongue.gif" border="0[/img]

FDR, the whole-hog liberal, was not only a huunter, but had a large collection of birds he had shot and mounted himself. Somewhere in the last fifty years it became unfashionable for the liberal elite to kill.<BR>art
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Bill didn't shoot the duck. He just acted like the great white hunter. An NRA rated A+ Democrat from OK? Brewster? I think, is the guy who shot it. My brother guided the guy on a pheasant hunt a few years ago- he was deadly on anything in the air.

The best thing about Slick Willie's duck hunt is that whoever provided his gun gave him a Benelli--basically the same model that his administration wanted to ban because it was dangerous. God, I'm glad he's gone. Okie John
If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.
