Like baseball? Like hunting? If you answered yes to both questions then this story is for you. The people at the Buck Commander website have just branched out from their famous Duck Commander videos ... and now they're putting together a deer hunting video. Here's the interesting part: this new video is going to contain cameos by some of your favorite major league ballplayers, as seen in a trailer which appeared on the "Duck Commander: For a Few Ducks More" DVD. From the omnipresent D.C. Sports Bog:

That DVD has a 10-minute trailer for next year's "Buck Commander," the first in what's scheduled to be a series of deer-hunting videos that will likely feature, among others, Todd Helton, David Dellucci, Chipper Jones, Mike DeJean, Brad Hawpe, Aaron Cook, (Ryan) Langerhans, (Adam) LaRoche and several more Major Leaguers. Which is noteworthy.

It is noteworthy, because while deer hunting may or may not be in the same ballpark as dog fighting, it's certainly worth the discussion. That said, there's a big difference between hunting and dog fighting which is simply this: Dog fighting is illegal. Hunting, not so much. (If Michael Vick had just stuck to hunting, maybe this wouldn't have been an issue.) And neither is horse racing, although the case has been made that horse racing is in the dog fighting category as well.

But here's a two-part question: Are you anti-hunting? If you are, and you found out that your favorite baseball player is an avid hunter, would you think less of him? Discuss.
