Hunting-The Mel Masengale Way

I've never been a hunter,  but I'm not morally opposed to it either. There are a ton of hunters here in Enid. I was recently invited to go bow hunting, although I'm not really sure what a bow tastes like or why they're fun to hunt.

Hunting never appealed to me. I don't know if it was the thought of sitting in a deer stand at 4:30am in the bitter cold or the fact that I had to remain totally silent for hours. It also didn't help that I was(am) a huge sissy.

Hunters are called sportsmen, but sometimes it doesn't seem very sporting. I don't see any deer in a human stand setting out hamburgers in a mall parking lot waiting for a human to walk by. They don't watch us electronically with their remote cameras & plot our demise, but it might be cooler if they did.

I came up with a few ideas to improve modern hunting.

1. No more guns. I am all for the 2nd amendment. I lived in Texas too long to be anti-gun. My plan is to issue a dirt bike & a baseball bat to every hunter at the start of hunting season. If you can ride along side the dear & club it, you have yourself a kill.
2. No more limits on what you can get. If you can get it on dirt bike, it deserves to be killed. If Bambi can't keep up, he's goin down.
3. Get as many as you can-we have to keep the population thinned.
4. Televise it. This would be must see TV. Can you imagine the human drama that would unfold as a man rides headlong through a barbed wire fence at 50 miles per hour? We would have paramedics on hand, safety first. 

Those are some of my ideas. What about you? Do you have any ways to improve hunting? If so, leave a comment & let us know.
