Do you like killing things? Go to Kansas!

Posted Sunday, November 19, 2006, 3:22 PM by Lonely Planet

Evidently sick of being associated with a red-shoed Judy Garland, the state is promoting itself as a hunting hot-spot. And we thought the only game birds in Kansas were found in late-night dive bars. But no - it turns out that the Sunflower State is the best place to find large populations of quail, pheasants and prairie chickens. And then kill them. Conservation in action. Let's hope the wicked witch of the west lands a house or two on plaid-clad quail killers, while we all take our leave elsewhere.

I remember when the Washington sniper was around. One of the things that irked the locals most was the delay to the start of hunting season. Damn, those americanos love their guns.

Yeah, that is a good complaint. It is so unusual for a state to promote its hunting or fishing.
