hunting related
Not sure if anything is legally in season in August…

In response to a reporter, Smith said it wasn’t clear whether the shooting was intentional or hunting-related.
Are we to presume that shots fired while hunting are accidental??

Sounds like Jimmy Dale is a bit squeamish about arresting Bubba for protecting the state of Mississippi. They have a clear description of the truck, find it, question the two in it…but no, wasn’t them, they is good ol boys, wouldnt cause no trouble.
Now they are on the hunt for a mysterious other truck, who was probably just huntin’ or something, so its really not that big of thing. Just over sensitive US Army troops, probably from up north.
They ain’t from around here, ya know?

Is that a typo? Didn’t they mean moron pickup truck?
Raccoon is in season. Why, I don’t know, but it is Mississippi after all.
Oh, and frog. Yes. Frog. How do you hunt frogs with a gun? Vewwy, vewwy carefully. Or you could use a spear. I did a couple of times when I a kid.** Returning home covered in smelly mud always elicited a heavy sigh from my mother, usually followed by an often heard, “Why can’t you be like the other girls your age?”
** Full disclaimer, I only killed one frog. I cried most of the way home, so that was my first and last experience with killing things.

Perry County Sheriff Jimmy Dale Smith
The name, plus his picture, has convinced me that someone at “The Onion” has totally made this up.
I had to laugh at imkmu3’s “full disclaimer”. Me too. Playing with my BB gun when in 4th grade, I aimed at a sparrow in our fruit trees and shot it out of its perch, dead as a doornail, hit the ground. I couldn’t believe I actually hit and killed something. I retired “defeated” or “undefeated” depending on your point of view, left my BB gun to rust in the laundry room. It was a beautiful Spring day. I’ve never forgotten how cruel that was. And a lucky (unlucky for the sparrow) shot!
Raccoons are nocturnal animals. If you see one in the daytime, it’s probably rabid…like the person who fired the shots.
You don’t have to be a fat white guy to be a rural sheriff but I swear it must have something to do with it.
Shooting a target arrow at a squirrel sitting on a tree branch about 20ft off the ground, hitting it in the side of the head, watching it fall to the ground, and then twitching until dead, had the same effect on me when I was probably 12.
