I'm glad they reduced the number of "Would you shoot these cranes?" pictures in this year's pre-hunt testing. I thought I'd never get through 'cause idda shot 'em all.

Instead they are 12 which is similar to lead. “Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it.” ― Ronald Reagan
