To Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, sportsmen and sportswomen have an easy choice this fall.

The NRA has given Kerry a congressional scorecard rating of F since 1984, and LaPierre said he views the senator from Massachusetts "as the quintessential two-faced candidate. He votes one way, and now that he’s running for president, he says he’s another."



Mr. Bush is an avid fisherman, and occasionally casts into the bass pond just steps from home on the ranch. He picked the sport up from his father, the former president, and has passed it on down to his own children.

On New Year's Day, he went quail hunting in southern Texas with George H.W. Bush - the most celebrated member of Ducks Unlimited.

Also in December, the current president met at the White House with John Tomke, president of Ducks Unlimited, for a meeting on wetlands protection.

The president leaned over to tell Tomke how much he enjoys hunting on the Texas Gulf Coast, where green-headed mallards and pintails flock every autumn. Tomke, in turn, reminded Bush that 22,000 hunters were among the 133,000 Americans who filed protests to a Bush administration wetlands plan that could have cleared the way for developers to bulldoze 23 million acres of fragile wetlands.

Four days later, the administration announced the president had personally decided "not to issue a rule that could reduce" federal wetlands protection, including smaller parcels important to wildlife called "isolated" wetlands.
