Hunting deer by crawling around on his stomach with a 12 gauge shotgun? Kerry is at it again.
Kerry and Hunting
By N.E. Republican
This is a letter to the editor in the Leader Telegram, a newspaper in Wisconsin:
I read about Sen. John Kerry’s recent tour of the Midwest in his attempt to connect with rural Americans.
He was asked if he thought it was important for Democrats to affirm the right to bear arms. He said, “No, I think it’s important for people to be who they are, I’m just being who I am. I’ve gone deer hunting and duck hunting long before I thought of getting into politics. I support the Second Amendment.”
Which way is it?
He was asked, after trapshooting in Holmen, what kind of hunting he preferred. His answer, “Probably, I’d have to say deer. It’s tough, depending on where you are. I go out with my trusty 12-gauge double barrel, crawl around on my stomach, I track and move and decoy and play games and try to out smart them. You know, kind of play the wind.”
I’m no expert, but I’ve hunted deer for 20 years. I also asked some avid deer hunters, guys who sit from dawn until dusk, live in deer camps without running water, and use outdoor toilets. Never have they heard of “crawling around on my stomach” to bag a deer. It’s obvious this guy hasn’t hunted a deer in his life! It should also be obvious this character will say and do anything to “connect” with voters!
Gun owners should beware. The voting record of this man is inconsistent with his quotes.
Someone should have asked him what he wears for footwear when hunting. I guarantee it wouldn’t have been “Iceman boots” from La Crosse Rubber Mills; it would have been “flip-flops” from Boston!
