Hey Zap, sometimes my computer does that, but not lately. Ran that idea about taking Curiosity to Venus by my other brother in law and he said no we could just go to Vegas and pick up some show girls since its not far from the Mohave Desert where it landed. Hummingbird population has increased from three to five here, the bully has met his match. Arkansas has a special 2-week goose season starting Sep 1st with a limit of five. They've got so tame here I could get that many easy, but wife said you shoot em, you clean and cook em. How bout them U.S.A, cleaned the funky Chinamens clock.

<quoted text>Goose hunt with a five iron, you could knock a few into the drink. When I dressed ducks I would just pull up the skin and feathers just under the breast then cut it big enough to get my fingers into, take off the skin & feathers all at the same time by pulling both directions, they will shuck easier if they are still warm, the skin is not good for you anyway, too much fat, & it takes too long to pick one a feather by feather. I know a chicken bone shatters when an animal chews it & causes sharp shards that stick in the intrstines when swallowed by a dog or a cat. I never checked abt goose bones. you could nuke or boil it till its done & pull the meat off the bone. I raised pigeons, I hated the meat so I would do it this way, then feed it back to the other critters. less the bones of course. I just bought 50 lb hog finisher & 50 lb chicken starter grower yesterday 31.30 bucks for total of 100 lb of feed. plus 2.97 tax so it was a total of 34.27 for 100 lbs of feed. when I started with chickens it was 5.50 for a 50 lb bag. this was in the 90's. protein is expensive. maybe romney will give the farmer a tax break after they get their anual 3 percent cost of living raise taken care of. O & the 2 billion monthly fee for frindship in afganistan.

<quoted text>I had dead birds all over the place yesterday! They were all quail. I shot them and put them in the freezer. I think I'll have quail tonight!
