When I was a kid, I once took half a dozen tasty small game birds with a 22 LR before the rest flew off. I know, I know, pot-shooter!
Purty dang good shooting though, knockin' their wee little heads off

Haha….and I HEARD a jambalaya too.Back in the '60's, put a lot of Robins in the freezer using a .177 Benjamin Pump….. a bunch of them makes for good Gumbo!
Wait until you find out I've seen people pop an occasional mud duck back in the day with a pistol...
On the farm where I grew up in the 1950s. Neighborhood pal would catch crawfish. A piece of tin on two bricks. Built a fire and cooked those crawfish and ate them. His name was Terry Tippens,Back in the '60's, put a lot of Robins in the freezer using a .177 Benjamin Pump….. a bunch of them makes for good Gumbo!
Ha ha! Mine never saw the freezer. I remember like it was yesterday even though it was 47 years ago. Walking home late afternoon from my buddy's farm. Heard them whistling for ol' bob white. I jumped the ditch and crawled under some sumac. They were just sitting there a little down hill of me, about a dozen of them 15 yards away and more calling out of sight. Every time I'd shoot that old springfield auto loader they'd jump up and then gather 'round their buddy looking sideways at him/her trying to figure out why he was flapping around on the ground. I still can't believe they let me shoot 6 before they flew offBack in the '60's, put a lot of Robins in the freezer using a .177 Benjamin Pump….. a bunch of them makes for good Gumbo!
A friend, an avid bird hunter trained his dogs to not chase rabbits. It could interfer with bird hunting. He sat in his yard and watched his dogs watching rabbits eating his garden.Ha ha!

Personally I had a peach tree in my back yard and squirrels eating my peaches. My housekeeper brought her pellet rifle and suggested she could make a squirrel and peach pie.
