DID HE GET THE BIRD?

He said in his interview with Fox News (Britt Hume asked that same question). His response "I have no idea".

May be wise, but not required for Quail hunting.

I saw a ridiculous news briefing (Q&A) today where the media asked some of the dumbest questions I’ve heard yet. some examples:

1. Will Dick Cheney tender his resignation because of this shooting?
2. Is this a criminal offence in Texas and will he be arrested?
3. And my personal favorite, while berating the press secretary about why the news was delayed until the next morning. “If he had killed the person, would it have been more serious?�

Yes, Cheney should have been sure of his target, but swinging on a Quail and finding someone where you didn't expect them to be when you pull the trigger is just an accident, not ALL carelessness.

Nothing like stepping in the middle of a covey of quail to get the adrenaline pumping. I've taken my son quail hunting and I warn him like every three seconds to make note of where i am

I've never been peppered at close ranges, but i've been rained on a few times dove and duck hunting.

Cheney is going to catch all kinds of hell on the late night talk shows but deserves it. I'm really glad the fellow he shot is OK.
