Obama proclaims 9/26/09 National Hunting and Fishing Day!

[Mike S]

Seriously.

Here's the info.

Quick, somebody find the fine print where we need to share the fish with the village, and also will be required to turn in our firearms. It has to be in there somewhere, I know I'm missing it...

Does that mean we can hunt early this year now? Hard to have a hunting day when you can't hunt.

(snort) I was wondering who would pick up on that first. I get the feeling that BO would go for a hike in loafers/no socks, Teddy Roosevelt he isn't, that's for sure..

Hunting trip to the National Mall? Maybe the rose garden? Probably some nice pigeons there.

Who the eff writes this sh*t for him?

Liberals - DUH! (^_^)

What he really means is hunting with pointy sticks, not evil guns.

Strange how this "supporter of the Second Amendment" never mentioned it.

 

[Bob P]

You mean National Poaching and Fishing Day

 

[tung tide]

If I known this was coming, I'd have baked a cake

There are more than just deer you know.

 

[Viper22]

Well, you could always go hunting for some grey squirrel...

Is there any other season going on besides that right now?

 

[FrugalFannie]

Hope his advisor Cass Sunstein doesn't hear about this! Maybe hunting will only be allowed with plastic nerf tipped arrows.

 

[Maj. Boom Boom]

so if we go deer hunting and get stopped can we get off on the claim it's national hunting day? ...lol

 

[exo]

Lame attempt at pretending he won't try and confiscate hunting rifles or ban hunting, only ban those "evil" guns... Do the FUDDs really buy into this bull?

 

[Midnight412]

Hunt Porcupines! Kll them all - on site - no mercy. I hate those rodents more than my dogs do.

So President Bush did it last year on 9/27/2009.

I know y'all love to heap shit on BO, but for heaven's sake, don't invest so much in bland political BS.

Reading it sans tinfoil hat it looks alright. When I put on the tinfoil hat and use my secret decoder ring the following sets off the spidey sense...

As our citizens continue to enjoy our Nation’s natural resources, we must remember that this privilege brings great responsibility. Not long ago, hunting threatened the extinction of the American Bison, an enduring symbol of the American West. Today, their population has recovered because of the cooperative efforts of conservationists and hunters. Many species, however, still require our protection. We can no longer look to our wilderness, as some once did, as land full of unlimited bounty and surplus. Recognizing the need for conservation, our hunters and anglers have worked hard to manage local ecosystems where wildlife remain, as well as to protect those areas where they are slowly re-establishing viable populations.

Does "manage local ecosystems where wildlife remain" have a similar ring to "reasonable restrictions" to anyone?

Even though this may be one more brick in the road, I think our energies are better focused elsewhere.

Can we at least heap crap on him for following Bush's stupid timing of the day?

Nixon was actually the first President to sign the Proclamation, they don't specify why they have chosen the 4th Saturday in September though...

No.

How can I get busted for wacking one out of season when the President says it's alright?

There must not be a penalty for wacking out of season, I've been doing it all year long. On an unrelated note, anyone know a good eye doctor?
