One hunter told the Times that his sisters were so upset they almost yelled the question: How can you shoot animals? His reply: I still havent hit anything. MONTANA Dogs are trained to sniff out marijuana and explosives, so why not train a dog to hunt down a weed thats taking over the West? Hal Stiner of Rocky Mountain Command Dogs in Belgrade, Mont., is training a dog named Knapweed Nightmare to pounce on spotted knapweed. The dog, a unique mix Stiner developed from Czech border patrol stock and a red European wolf hybrid, has been taught to dig at any knapweed she finds.

The loss of actor Charlton Heston as president after seven years may have hurt the NRA; the high cost of lobbying Congress and paying for TV ads to fight campaign-financ- e reform certainly did.
