You mean shooting into the air, just like Cheney?...
Peter,
Many thanks for bringing the topic back to hunting... After successfully hi-jacking the thread to the grand topic of waterfowling, I almost lost interest when Airsix remarked off topic...
Regarding the unfortunate upland quail hunting accident that Vice President Cheney was involved in, the hunters did in fact have on blaze orange safety vests as is the practice for upland hunting, unfortunately for Mr. Whittington he unwittingly approached the Vice President unannounced with the sitting sun at his back after separating from the party to search for a fallen quail... The work for a good or marginal dog, or in this case, the attorney that was tagging along with the boys...
Now we all know that the sun is brighter than a blaze orange hunting vest, in fact, Mr. Whittington, an attorney by profession and apparent part time gun dog, would have been invisible to anyone looking due west at that moment in time.... He paid the price for his silent and invisible tomfoolery as he was peppered with a few pellets from Vice President Cheney's 28-guage Perazzi shotgun as the Vice President swung and shot at a rising quail...
The 28-guage Perazzi happens to be one of my favorite upland guns,
a true work of art, especially when engraved with this exotic nude female scene...
Yes that engraved Perazzi is a work of art..... Much too refined a gun for waterfowling where hunters wear full camo and share stories of the Old Duck Hunters Association, Inc...
