I think his point is that HGH fosters larger muscle growth, which puts extra strain on bones and joints (causing injury). Traditional steroids did the same thing while also hurting the structure of your bones.

Albert.... ever tried hunting pheasant? Ever tried to shoot a moving target with a shotgun? It is not that easy even from that range... hell ESPECIALLY from that close of a range. The pellets don’t even have that good of a chance of spreading out so it actually makes it harder to hit the bird(depending on the choke…

Yeah, I think some of them are designed to beep more often as the dogs are out ranging, but the rate slows down once the dogs get on point. Here’s a video

I am a real hunter (pheasant, duck, and deer) and have been on game farms all my life and they serve their purpose. It is a great place to get beers with friends, shoot clays, pistols or pheasants if you choose to do so. I don’t know where he was or what the situation was so I don’t want to judge him so harshly.

Wasn’t released, wasn’t even staged IMO. Look at Huckabee’s body language: he is standing still, gun at the ready position, partially turned looking to his left as the clip begins because that’s where he thought they would be coming from. You hear the beep of a dog’s collar as the pheasant flushes from his right, he…

It seems there are a lot of people here who have never been pheasant hunting. In my experience, it’s supposed to work like this. That man to the right is almost certainly with a dog which located the bird. The man then flushes the bird out of its hiding spot, and Huckabee takes the shot. Also, that shot is a lot…

What a fucking ignorant article. Yes, Mike Huckabee sucks, but if you don’t know shit about pheasant hunting (or ANY hunting), don’t make a whole commentary on it. This was legitimate hunting, and the pheasant flushed nearby and was shot. That’s how it’s done.

So just to be clear, you can write an entire article based on the premise that the bird was a captive, and then released in front of Huckabee to shoot....and when you find out that is not what happened, instead of deleting the article, you just put an asterisk at the bottom?

So has the author or anyone commenting here ever gone pheasant hunting? The beeping is the dog’s collar, which allows you to track where the dog is through the brush. The collars typically have a couple of tones, one for when the dog is moving and another when it is on point. A well trained pointing dog will not flush…

I think Huckabee is a horrible choice for a leader. That said, I’m also intellectually honest when I criticize people. Here, you have no knowledge of the subject, no apparent desire to learn, and yet feel free to criticize. Do yourself a favor: pick up a shotgun and go shoot some clay. Then come back and tell me how…

It's an awful short clip but it looks like pretty standard pheasant hunting...guy over where the bird was probably flushed it because the dog didn't get it in the air, once it's in the air you shoot. That's how it works. You should try it sometime before ranting about it, so maybe you'd have an educated point of view…

Due to the retraction, it appears as though this was a wild pheasant, flushed in the typical manner of skirmish line hunting with dogs in front, shot with a typical shotgun at normal range. The puff of feathers tells me it was hit hard and killed instantly. Is the author’s point that he can’t stand pheasant hunting?…

Sometimes the pheasant doesn’t flush right away and tries to hide instead. It takes walking right up to him to get him to flush. I seriously doubt the bird was caged or that this was staged. It was an easy shot and he should have let the bird fly farther because he undoubtedly shredded all the meat with that 12 gauge,…

Look at him, he ate it

Where I come from, which is pheasant country, if we don’t know an effing thing about something, we typically don’t comment on it. The author and 99% of the “intellectual and advanced” humans can snark all you want. That bird was not released by the other guy in the video. That is another Hunter. The beeping is the…

You acknowledge in this piece that you are not a hunter, which explains several inaccurate and curious statements you’ve made. In no particular order ... First, upland bird hunting is almost always done with dogs, usually two, a pointer and a flusher. The pointer quarters back and forth and then stops and puts its…

If you are tree standing with a bow, that is hunting.

1. It’s important to wildlife conservation and herd population control for large game. Biologists carefully regulate the number tags for specific hunting zones based on overpopulation and herd health. Without hunting, more animals will die of disease and starvation.

I know this comment will not go over well, but that is pheasant hunting. I do not like mike huckabee, or anything he stands for, but I think there are much more important and serious issues to take with him than pheasant hunting. I grew up pheasant hunting with my dad, using shot guns and small shot. Some pheasants…

The pheasant had more of a chance than the chicken in your sandwich had, Albert.
