and I'd love to start hunting them, with camera only. My problem is I'm not very good with a camera. If I had Demo's talent with the lens I'd be in hog heaven but I don't

I forage for mushrooms so I'm out in the woods quiet often and this would be a good hobby for me to take up. Just the camera thing that keeps me from doing it

Just to be clear. 68 damn near 69 YO and I have no desire to kill things so I don't own guns. I left them all back in 'Nam

You might just be surprised at what you can do!

It's a great hobby and it has helped me to grow. It really has - learning something new is a wonderful thing.

I'm thankful for every animal that can be saved, but why the hell do people call it a "pardon?" The cruel producers and killers of these gentle, innocent beings are the ones who should be pardoned.
