Elitism is part of all avocations, crafts and professions. There's more than one way to consider it. Google defines elitism as dominant in a system or society and OED, which I use, defines elite as the choice part, the best of.

You see it in a negative sense as not needed in the hunting fraternity. I agree, and I consider myself as part of an elite in my craft and fraternity because of what I bring to it as a leader; Not as dominant but in a practical sense for a common purpose.

I've lost three birds in the last 51 years, none my dog's fault. I've suffered your examples of egos with poorly trained dogs. I'm enraged by the waste from a majority of waterfowlers. Exaggerated ego doesn't drive me.

I've seen many hunters mark falls of dead birds in thick cover but not one who could say accurately where a cripple went after falling in marsh of cattails and tules. I'm a minority dedicated to bringing home what we shoot.

If that's elitist, I'll wear it proudly.

Kings definitely an elitist when it comes spewing total and utter BS, telling tall tales, being a fake & fraud, and when it comes to bloviating, he has no equal. No doubt, he's an elite in all the above categories. Well done King, well done.

Thanks, LeFusil. That's better than your president thinks of Canadians.

Don�t worry about what my President thinks. You being Canadian and all, you should worry more about that dingaling you have running your country.

Ain't that the truth!

You're right again, LeFusil. Like he said.

We have a 6 bird/daily bag limit on ducks here, and now a 5 bird limit on Canada geese. Since Rowdy (my 3 year old Lab) and I hunt "solo" now-a-days, I am satisfied with 3 or 4 drake mallards, and 1 or 2 big geese. But as I usually hunt rivers and farm ponds/flooded corn fields- if we miss picking up a cripple, I count that against my daily bag-

I would rather take 3 male mallards cleanly in range with 4 shells (and a M12) then shoot up a box of expensive steel loads to bag a limit of 6 ducks. Don't laugh, I've been an invited guest on a few hunts where that shell to bagged birds ratio is a frequent event.

We both have ding-a-lings at the helm: USA and her great neighbor to the North. Main difference: Trump manages to speak English, your PM is fluent in English and French-- ding-a-lings are part and parcel of the political structure of the world today, fact of life I fear.

Trump's no ding-a-ling. He's the very antithesis of a ding-a-ling. Nancy Pelosi is the Queen of ding-a-lings.
JR

As are: Hillary Clinton, Dianne Feinstein- et al.. I didn't include the distaff side, as IMO, they do NOT belong in politics--
But Trump, like Barracks Bag-Boy Obammy, had Zero experience in Military Ops, Foreign and International Affairs--

Trump fired most of the top former Military men he had first appointed to his Cabinet-- major mistake in the light of the never-ending threat to the USA from the "sandbox terrorist groups extant in the Middle East.
