#2 The Kuwaiti Al-Qabas newspaper reported that the men had tried to cross the border during a night-time curfew, but when they refused to bribe the Iraqi border guards, the guards reported them to the US military.

Arrest the guards.

#5 First hunting article I ever read where they didn't mention the game they were hunting for.

The most dangerous game of all.

#6 RPG's are used primarily in Duck season. Maybe they didn't have their duck stamps.

#7 Of course they need RPGs. Have you ever tried to bring down an elk with .556 ammo?

#8 I much prefer the trusty old French 75 for duck season. Getting hard to find ammunition for it now, though.

#9 The Little Woman prefers the Chaparral, but that just doesn't seem sporting to me.

#10 I'm old school, myself. Nothing sez duck hunting like the "thump-thump" of a double barrel 40mm Bofors echoing across the marsh.

#12 You use an MP3 on elk? What do you play, Bill Clinotn's State of the Union speeches?

#13 :> TO.... there was a site, an alumni site for a destroyer escort as I recall, that started playing an ear breaker of a Twin 40 MP3. I lost it, perhaps I'll leave out a bowl.....
