His wife won't let him go pheasant hunting any more. He recently had a major cornonary episode and survived... not sure what his wife thinks of that coming up on Valentines Day. A pheasant w/ birdshot at short range is turned into chopped feathers. I'll never forget the one flying away from me that I got about 6 feet out. Amazing how the bird is already moving away as fast as it can go and you let loose then there is blood & feathers with wings still flapping in a twisted dive with a neck stuck out there and it is moving even faster now before it hits the ground and bounces... sort of thud thud bounces in the dirt till it gets slowed down by some dry weeds and the dog runs over and grabs it. My stepfather, who did have military experience later in life, is supposed to have been getting into a PU truck w/ a loaded shotgun after a hunt and blew his friend's ear off. Leastways that was why despite our always having guns to play with when we were kids we were told why we never went hunting like grandpa who was brought up on an Iowa sheep farm. ][< -- To terminate puerile preservation prattling among pals and the uncoffee-ed, or to change your settings, go to: <http://listserv.icors.org/archives/bullamanka-pinheads.html> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The information in this email and any attachments may contain confidential information that is intended solely for the attention and use of the named addressee(s).
