A weekend squirrel hunting contest to raise funds for a western New York volunteer fire company drew about 30 animal rights protesters and a heavy police presence following heated criticism of the once obscure event.

The bigger it gets every year the higher the odds of someone getting killed!Health prevents me from hunting but if I could I would never involve myself in such a ludicrous event!!!What the hell happened to Holley.Have they gone totally stupid since I moved out?

I went this year and it was a great event. Hope your health improves and I get to see you for season #8.

What an excellent idea! Other Sportsmen's groups across America are already lighting up the airwaves inquiring about how to run similar contests in their areas.
