US marines hunt gazelles with rocks

US marines in Iraq are hunting gazelles with rocks and pistols - to avoid having to eat ready-made US army meals.

The soldiers have been allowed to use 9mm pistols to hunt after initially being forbidden to use firearms for fear that gunshots in the woods might be mistaken for enemy fire.

"We hunted them with rocks (at first), as Stone Age as that sounds," Wicksell said. "We gutted them and skinned them and pretty much carried them over our shoulders barbarian-style."
