With all the activist groups who dislike hunting---and guns in general---why not entertain the ridiculous a bit farther---(or, it was really only a nightmare).
You're with your friends----you've found a pristine shooting spot and you're road testing your GPS /Laser Guided / FLIR capable rifle, along with your friends, who have similar weapons of mass destruction. After firing several cubic feet of ammunition, the Warden (of the National Lumber association) approaches; telling your group that you must now pay for the tree that you shot full of holes, because you hung your target there. After some brief work on the calculator, he arrives at a figure of $7.23 a board foot multiplied by the number of shots fired, then cites you for not having a hardwood tag in your possession. The bill for the Oak comes out to 115 board feet @ $7.23 per foot and you have to take the tree to the lumber mill for disposal. (Don't tell Congress--they might try that next).-----------OK, now that the parody is over------I have noticed that everywhere I go to shoot (even in remote areas)----I find that everything standing is riddled with bullet holes. Vacant property looks like a Swiss cheese and there's trash everywhere---maybe that's why shooters aren't welcome in a lot of places anymore. In our group, if you bring it, you take it home (and a few other pieces of crap too)-----too bad it isn't catching on.
