Hobby Sports

While searching the net, I found this cover of Vogue magazine from their October 15, 1936 issue which shows a lovely lady shooting a side by side wearing a brown hat and a pheasant tail.  At least the lady has style sporting a SXS with double triggers.  Its the only way to go for a true sportsman (or woman).

This cover made me think, would I ever see such a cover in my lifetime on the current Vogue?  I highly doubt it but Ive been wrong before.  If they did though Id buy it.  But Im sure my $5.99 is safe from that.  I wouldnt doubt that those NY-types with the current Vogue have probably burned this cover and wiped out any evidence it ever existed. 

Anyways it would be interesting to see what the current Vogue equivalent of this cover would look like? 

For whatever reason, this retarded state of California has changed the name of the Department of Fish & Game to Department of Fish and Wildlife at the beginning of this year.  Why would they do such a thing?  Who knows but in the opinion of this sportsman there is an agenda among antis to chip away our ability to hunt. 

The definition of game:  animals under pursuit or taken in hunting; especially : wild animals hunted for sport or food (2) : the flesh of game animals

The definition of wildlife:  living things and especially mammals, birds, and fishes that are neither human nor domesticated

One word- the old word- has implications of hunting and sport.  The other is merely living things and had no implication of sport or hunting.

This is a subtle way to slowly chip away at our rights to hunt.  Call me paranoid but in a state with so many non-sportsman and antis I think my hypothesis is on the money.  When a DFG commissioner loses his job for legally hunting a mountain lion in another state in Idaho, than you know this state is out of control.  Let us not forget that certain hunts are now banned from using hounds.  Its only a matter of time an attempt ban all types of hunting with a dog. 

Given the current economic condition of California, is it prudent to change the name?  Dont we have bigger issues to handle.  How much will this name change cost?  Remember all logos from banners, uniforms, hats, patches, decals, websites, etc. need to be eventually changed.  All that is time and MONEY that this state does not have.  Keep in mind all uniformed DFW workers pay for their uniforms and hats etc. (although they get a small stipend but Ive been told it is not enough). 

California again you prove how stupid you really are.  It is no wonder every other state in this union hates your guts.  And rightfully so.  I labeled this under humor because California youre a joke.
