[USS Alaska]

I used to hunt small game in PA but now, the only ringnecks are the 'put and take' birds from the game commission.

They will rarely fly, they will run out like chickens.

You can have the same sport but going to my buddy's barn yard paying him for some chickens and then shooting them, in their cages.

No sport, not worth my time.

When I feel like hunting in solitude, I take a 22 and a nice lunch go into the woods and sit around oak or nut trees and just wait for a clean shot.

I can still make a good squirrel and/or rabbit stew.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I used to take my best customers to “Flint Oak Ranch” in eastern Kansas.
Pheasants were raised and released by the hundreds.

Skilled guides with little bird dogs lead groups of four or five shotgunners.
It was a great place to spend a couple days.

Then, some fool (not with my group) shot one of the dogs.
There was hell to pay.
