I wish I could fully understand the mentality of our anti-hunting foes. Maybe I should have taken a few psychology classes in college so it would help me understand what, if anything is between their ears. Most of the time, their antics leave me just shaking my head. Take for instance the tale about the bowhunter in Connecticut, featured in a recent U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance \”On Target\” story.

This hunter legally shot a deer but as it died, it crossed onto another landowner’s property. The hunter did the legal and ethical thing by approaching this landowner about retrieving his quarry. The landowner, an avowed anti-hunter, refused, which is unfortunately, within their rights. This anti said that she’d rather the deer rot before letting a miserable hunter have it. The state wildlife authorities then got called into the fray, but had no more luck in convincing the anti about her wasteful behavior. The state agency declared the deer irretrievable, allowing the hunter to continue to pursue another animal. One animal left to rot, one hunter undoubtedly frustrated at the waste of an animal, state wildlife agency personnel wasting sportsmen’s dollars arguing with an anti-hunter, and one clueless citizen somehow reveling in the fact that she has kept a hunter from eating an animal.

What she just doesn’t get is that she has now guaranteed that this hunter will keep hunting, attempting to take another deer…something he may not have done if left to claim his animal. Irony with a capital \”I\”…

Lets review…not letting someone hunt on your land…that’s your right. Not letting someone retrieve game they legally shot but that died on your land…that’s lunacy to me. Think I’d better look into to some online psyche classes soon…

Our old family friend Ponzio\’s Diner in Brooklawn has officially reopened as the Metro Diner after being closed several weeks for remodeling. Continue on to read about my visit… with a few pics! I only used a flash on one pic… so they are a little darker than actual.

Who can count the number of times we’ve celebrated baptisms, first communions, graduations, anniversaries, and more with a delicious dinner or breakfast at Ponzio’s Diner? But let’s be honest, over the last few years the old girl wasn’t looking as fresh as she used to. But now after a short break, she returns looking years younger, waiting to welcome you home again.
