HAGERSTOWN, Md. -- Some of the "Black Friday" shoppers flocking to malls were buying bullets, boots and hunting licenses for Maryland's modern-firearm deer season, which opens Saturday.Liberals look at a deer and see Bambi. Conservatives look at a deer and see venison.
Drew Trimble, pushing a loaded shopping cart out of Dick's Sporting Goods in Hagerstown, said hunting helps stretch his food dollars.
The 28-year-old information-technology worker from Harpers Ferry, W.Va., said he and his hunting buddies got two deer in the Green Ridge State Forest during the early muzzleloader season. They hope to bring back more meat during the rifle season, which ends Dec. 13.
"It's nice not to have to buy beef from the store since we have venison," Mr. Trimble said.
More than 68,000 people hunt for Maryland deer, an activity that helps control the deer population while contributing more than $150 million annually to the state's
economy, according to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
The rifle season is the most popular deer-hunting season, accounting for nearly half
of the deer taken each year. DNR Deer Project Leader Brian Eyler predicted hunters will kill up to 45,000 deer during the next two weeks.

ReplyDeletehate to rain on your parade robert but the majority of "liberals" believe in gun ownership
and hate to rain again on your parade but the majority of "concervatives" believe in gun control laws
no, liberals are not going to take away guns, we in fact want gun ownership, even "far left" liberals (see randi rhodes and mike malloy)
just because the corporate media's propaganda makes it's way onto the airwaves unchallenged doesn't make it true
Progressives look at a deer and see several opportunities to create government jobs. "Peace through legislation!"

Sure, as long as there are sufficient strings attached that the gun is rather more a conversation piece than anything else.
Wrong blog to complain about the Media Electoral College.

ReplyDeleteAnonymous, what planet are you on? All the liberal justices on the supreme court voted against Heller. Wishful thinking or delusional, whichever the case, plain wrong. Libertarians on the other hand support gun rights. Try getting a pistol license in NYC, DC or SF, the capitols of the liberal establishment. As far as the Bambi comment goes, it would have been better said that liberals think meat comes from the cellophane tree.
