| #22 Just as well, actually. I don't have a gun, I live within San Antonio city limits and I am extremely nearsighted anyway... On the other hand, I'll bet I could score a couple of kills with a wrist-rocket... |

| #21 Sgt. Mom, doves out in the wild not accustomed to a feeder are a lot harder to hit than you might think. They have to be shot on the wing, it's illegal to shoot them on the ground. |

| #20 Good grief, my backyard feeder is overrun with doves. I could hunt them from the back porch, were I so inclined. The only way it would be easier, would be if the damned things walked up to the back door and committed hari-kiri on the doormat. September 1, you say...Hmmmm. White wine, I guess... and a wild-rice and onion stuffing. |

| #19 Skunks, what a brilliant idea. The best kind are the ones with rabies. |

| #18 Reminds me of this song they used to play.... Dead skunk in the middle of the road! Dead skunk in the middle of the road... |

| #17 There are much better ways to rid yourself of unwanted squaters. For instance you can procure some essence of Skunk which has a two-fold affect. First it smell just like a skunk and will wrinkle the most moonbats noses and second it will draw any skunk in a three to four mile area to see whats going on. Use your imagination on what will happen when real skunks show up for some lovin and there is nothing but stinky protesters around. |

| #16 Dove Season, what we'd all be doing Saturday afternoons in the early fall if the South had won. |

| #15 For central Texas, dove season opens Sept 1. There will lots and lots of shooting around there! Early morning and late evening are the best times. |

| #14 pretty funny, actually, considering the dove = "unwilling to support military action" meaning. |

| #13 I liked what he said about "nobody makin' anything around here but the port-a-potty people". I saw a Fox interview this morning with him. He initially supported the protesters saying they had the right to protes there but "after 5 days of it it's kinda like having your brother-in-law stay for 5 days, it stinks". |

| #12 #5 & # 8 According to Keating's History of Ireland, the O'Sheehans,along with the Collins' and O'Meehans, were chief's in the baronies of Conello in County Limerick. But we aren't claiming her because she took the name, O'Sheehan, when she married Casey's father. I think her maiden name was "Trubblemacher". |

| #11 The GFW's (gun fearing wussies) must have had a near melt down actually hearing a real live shotgun go off for the first times in their New York Times coddled lives. Hope they soiled themselves. Bet it woke up a couple of dozen dozing Secret Service agents too. |

| #9 TonyUK - Shooting but not killing anybody mind you. |

| #8 TMH, I'd take a very safe guess that Sheehan is Irish - no wonder he started shooting! :) |

| #7 He should go out with a chainsaw and cut some wood whenever the cameras are around. |

| #6 I really feel sorry for this guy stuck in the middle of the political protest bs. Guess they feel it's somehow ok to screw with other people's lives because Crawford's not a huge town and the President is a part-time resident. Methinks the protest folks would be crying and lamenting to no end should their families' lives be disrupted by this sort of bs for months. Perhaps the poor guy should also spread out manure mechanically and miss the mark a little in the direction of the protest peons. (it's deadly in the middle of summer) Methinks he should do some spraying to keep down the weeds on the perimeter also (that will scare off the eco nut contingents). I'd also suggest that his friends join him in target practice everyday bright and early. Might want to get some big dogs out there also. Perhaps legal action claiming nuisance, trespassing, intentional interference with prospective economic relations, neglgient infliction of emotional distress, etc would also help. I'd be po'd to no end if my tranquill life was disrupted by nutjobs like those gathering in Crawford. Don't get me wrong, free speech is important but I don't believe that self proclaimed activists should be allowed to ruin the quality of life for fellow citizens for months on end in the name of free speech. It's abusive and in no way necessary. But, given the common standard of stunted moral growth prevailing among activists, why would the average idiot protest nutter ever realize that basic truth about what is fair and just? |

| #3 If he is on his own property and there is no ordinance against it he can shoot anytime he wants. I think we need to get him a Cannon. |

| #2 Larry, don't forget the loony birds. They're always in season. |

| #1 LOL ....Mattlage.... insist(ed) the gunshots were just him "getting ready for dove season." Hey, Larry, "let's go dove huntin' this evenin'". "Can't. Tain't dove season yet." "Don't matter none I aint got no license anyways." |
