“There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.” -Ernest Hemingway

This sounds like the plot of a Mario Van Peebles flick. You know the kind I’m talkin’ ’bout! You watched them late at night on Cinemax after the soft-core porn was over and you felt let down ’cause all they showed was T&A, and you wanted more…
But I digress
Five hunters shot dead in Wisconsin
Fight started over deer stand
By ABC12/The Associated Press
Hayward, Wis. – (11/22/04)– New details are emerging about the deadly shootings of five deer hunters in Meteor, Wisconsin.
The suspect, also a deer hunter, is from Minnesota. Four men and a woman were killed in a dispute over a tree stand. Three other people were hurt.
The chief deputy in Sawyer County says the suspect was “sniping” at the victims with an assault-style rifle. He says the suspect was “chasing after them and killing them.” Some victims were shot more than once.
After the shootings, a town official says deputies drove up and down the roads using loudspeakers to alert hunters to get out of the woods.
A town official says shootings “just don’t happen” in that area. But he says the area attracts out-of-towners, and acknowledges “even neighbors” can fight over deer.
Wisconsin’s statewide deer gun hunting season started Saturday and lasts for nine days.
Some victims were shot more than once. Was this guy a bad shot? Or did he want to make sure the victims were dead, dead, and dead again? The fight started over a deer stand. Now, I’m not a hunter, so lets talk to your pal and mine Google about this… Kinda what I thought, its a thing you stand up in a tree, or construct in the woods to shoot deer from. So they started the fight over a deer stand… I’d love to say I was shocked and amazed, but I’m not, I’m jaded. People have been killed over an Xbox before. Another quote from this story that really gets me is “even neighbors” can fight over deer. Riiiiiiiiight. OK, I want to know how much alcohol was involved. We are talking about hunting and Wisconsin here!
I guess this is a good enough reason not to go hunting. Let me add that to list..

Yeah pretty soon, I’ll just be staying at home on a permanent caffeine drip not moving from bed other than to go to the toilet, assuming that is safe to do.
