The count down !!!

WOOOOOHOOOOO. Let the smack down begin!

I hear ya bro, I was down at your neck of the woods today at Ft Sill. Had 3 full bird Col's with me or I'd of looked you up. Did see a bunch of dove, if they'd of had bacon wrapped around them they would have been broiling today!!!!

Man,wish ya could of stopped by buddy.
Next time maybe...Will have some dove for lunch or dinner.

What about squirrels...aren't they fair game right now? Do squirrels not count for anything? What do you have against squirrels? Hunting snobs! ;D

I love squirrels...especially young ones that are fried...add a little gravy and man what a meal..

I think the same way, too. If they were a little easier to clean, they might be endangered where I hunt.

Yea, I know..I'm pretty well full grown hillbilly but I sure hate cleaning squirrels...I only take about 1 mess a year and before I'm done I start wishing I hadn't done it...but when they are all cooked up then I'm glad I did...I've seen guys before that could clean one really fast...I've tried it the same way and it just doesn't pan out for me...

My Granddad used to hunt squirrels all of the time until he came back with about 50 one day. After cleaning all of those (he was one of those that could clean them quickly), he vowed never to hunt them again...and he didn't.

Yea, I've made that same pledge myself..most everytime I kill a few...but sooner or later I'll shoot a few and then it will all come back to me about just how hard it is to clean them...the young ones are a lot easier but it takes a bunch of them for someone like me..Guess when it comes to young squirrel I'm just a pig...

Nutting wrong with squirrels, just not the time of the year to even think about eaten 1 though.

I have to tell you this story... A few years back during the Veterans Day parade, In Ponca city there was a full Bird Col. as the grand master of the parade. I was on the bleachers right behind him when one of the local bankers wives(pretty old) came up to him and thanked him for being there. As he was in his dress greens, she said " Were you a cook in the service?" He replied, no, and before he could say anything else, she said" you must have been a cook... you have chickens on your lapel.

About 10 of us almost fell off the bleachers ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Honest to Gosh true story ;D ;D

That was one of my duty's in life after I got my first .410 at 11 yrs old was to get my grandmother at least 2 a year. She ate brains and all, even when the Dr's told her that she couldn't eat meat anymore. She lived to 91. what the hell to the Dr's know? :'(
