A very good read in a newspaper for once

"If you live a bad life you’re gonna come back as a deer and depending on how bad you’ve lived your life some fella’s gonna shoot you in the arse"

Good and interesting read.

I thought it was an excellent piece. The writer quite clearly is not into guns and will never be a hunter, but she writes very informatively and does not seek to either romanticise or condemn. Expect nothing less from the Times.

Hmmm, not hyper-impressed, me. 'I have nothing but fear and loathing for guns...' she wrote.

Why?

And 'sniper sights'?

Really?

She even got to shoot the rifle, too, something that would have been illegal in UK for a 'visitor'.

How does that work out in Ireland?

Par for the course with the Irish Times Tac, its the Irish version of the Manchester Guardian, all "right on" and "uber pc".

Well it's the best piece I've seen written in mainstream Irish media anout hunting in many a year. She's writing as an outsider on a sport and I think it's a fair piece, she's taken the time to actually go on a stalk and research her facts.

Not the worst I've read.Apart from the odd amatuer mistake,it's pretty neutral.
