Just sittin' here, eatin' my cake.
Yup...and I saved a piece just for you :)
Do you prefer your fish broiled or baked?
I slipped out real quick and grabbed one from the pond.
I think it's one of those crap fish or whatever they're called.
I bashed it on its head to stop the squirming. I saw a bit of its brain matter explode, I'm happy that the stupid thing had a very small brain and there wasn't much mess to clean up.
Now it's eyes have taken on a dull glaze and its lips are suckin' wind.
You can probably cut its head off and fillet it quicker than I can.
Wanna wash it down with cold water or hot, bitter coffee?
Cheers! ;)
Ha ha ha haaa! As am I.
As a "poor" person I can tell you that it does take effort and some careful planning, moreso than those with larger and more disposable incomes than I.
So I did save up some dough to buy some equipment and to get my licences, but I had to do so over time. I started even before getting licenced, gambling on the fact that I would pass testing and such. Things such as getting a gun case and locks, for example.
And if I didn't pass? Well, there's Kijiji I guess.
At any rate, I did pass. But now I am faced with the cost of shooting range yearly dues (not that I mind as it comes with perks, such as OFAH membership), buying ammo (didn't realize how much one can eat through in a couple hours!), and the gas coming to and from said range.
And knowing that I must be even more careful and vigilant about how I plan, I spend lots of time looking over the Crown Land atlas, topographical maps, researching outfitters (both near and far), and even going on a scouting trip once or twice (last one I drove nearly 2000 km just to go to the crown land's nearby city and so some scouting/footwork of the land). i am trying my utmost to do everything right.
Why? Because I can't afford any kind of ticketing or charges by any CO or police/authorities. I really am one $1,000 fine away from this "hobby" becoming dead in the water (I'd have to sell all my stuff off to pay it).
Does it mean that I'm going to be a stickler for the rules? Yep. Will I be a pain in the *%$ for those who are less careful and more callous than I? Probably not - not unless their non-chalance will potentially also land me in trouble. Will I still be my usual laid back, humourous and easy to get along self? You bet.
Anyway, just thought I'd throw in my $0.02 po' man's cents.
Sagin, looks like you are well on your way into entering the world of hunting. Good for you! The people on here make it look so easy....lots of experience, time in the bush and practice. I'm new too and likely going to be eatin' "tag soup." There is still time left....and my fingers are crossed.
