" Lord , I was born a ramblin' man.
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin'
The best I can."-- Duane Allman and the Allman Brothers

As a country boy that as been on many a bird shoot, it stings a bit when it hits you. It happens bird hunting, there is a reason we wear safety glasses. However, VP Cheney and his group violated a basic ettiquette of the game, you let your partner return with his prize before you move on. The etiquette of bird hunting is as exquisite as that of golf, you point the gun or hit the shot , it is you and only you.
I have been hunting since a young age and was tought to never squeeze on a low bird. This axiom can be sadly overlooked in a hot quail hunt with unfamiliar hunting partners. What happened, is a sad semi-rare occurence in hunting birds and purely coincidental.
