With deer and waterfowl hunting seasons opening up around the nation, the Kerry-Edwards campaign is dangling some bait to hook the Cabelas vote.

A draft reads, "Gun rights are fundamental for the sport of hunting." John Kerry also proposes paying landowners to give access to the hook and bullet crowd.  Ed: The only thing dumber will be some hunters who will buy into his nonsense lock, stock and barrel.
