Hunting Accidents Appear to be Common

The Washington Times notes the results of this survey.

A poll of 883 South Dakota bird hunters, conducted before Vice President Dick Cheney's weekend hunting accident, asked: "Have you ever been peppered with shotgun BB's?"

It so happens 484 of the hunters, or about 55 percent, replied "yes." And 365 of them said they were wearing orange vests when sprayed.

The poll was conducted by Pheasant Country ("where pheasant hunters come to roost"), a Web site sponsored by the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader newspaper.

Have you seen the latest bumper sticker? "I'd rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than ride with Ted Kennedy."

I have. I think they are pretty funny.
