HUNTING AND FISHING
Hunting and fishing are the ways polite society gets the urge to murder out of its system. A polite hunter, however, is not deaf to the pleas of animal lovers. Unless you are completely overcome by the desire to kill and maim, you should do everything you can to make hunting more comfortable for the animals. Shoot ducks on the water and pheasants on the ground so they will not have a long, painful fall after they are hit. Use shelled corn and salt licks to allow deer a last meal before their demise. And be sure to drink before hunting to give the animals a sporting chance to see some humans killed. But when you're fishing, these niceties of behavior may be abandoned. Fish are not smart enough to care about courtesy or sportsmanship, not even trout. Go ahead and kill them with hand grenades if you get tired of screwing around with dry flies.
