Last week you may remember that some of our club members had a run in with representatives of the U.S. Fish and Game Service. An example of pure harassment if there ever was one.
This week David Stabb (that’s two b’s) writes us from the Calgary Canada Chapter of the Montrose Beer and Gun Club about an incident that took place up there, while we were crossing swords with our government folks down here.
It seems the Canada fish and game people were checking out the remains of a moose that was hanging in the meat locker at an oil-drilling rig and work site, near Cold Lake, Canada.
The fish and game guy said "So Mr. Duveaux, how do you explain the bullet wound in the moose meat hanging in that locker. And you say that this is road kill?"
Duveaux rubbed his mouth and said, "When de moose run in de road, my truck hit him in de hind end. Spun de truck ‘round an’ ‘round. My huntin’ dog was in de back of de truck wit’ my loaded rifle. De dog somehow got de paw caught in de trigger and fired off a round. Killed de moose right dere in de road while we was spinning ‘round. Dat would make it road kill.
The fish and game guy scratched his cheek, and said, "Interesting story
Mr. Duveaux. You see it looks to me like your dog shot that moose three times."
Duveaux said , "Hmmm, well, de dog he got himself four paws. I guess in all de confusion, he musta missed once."
The court hearing is set for 15 January, 2008, and you are encouraged to send defense fund donations and or crushed aluminum cans to:

What we obviously have here is a coordinated, international campaign of harassment waged against our club and it’s members. It’s terrorism is what it is.
We must band together now as never before. And don’t forget our motto: Beer before breakfast. Death before dishonor.
Yessir, that’s what it’s all about.

Till next week
