    Slab, that is cool that you like hunting small game. It sure is a lot of fun. The only real small game hunting I've done is hunt squirrels. I am looking forward to January when I can wander the woods for squirrels. I am going to put blunts on my arrows and hunt them with my recurve. I don't expect to kill one....lol

    Sweet! Get 'em!!

    Yeah, that's a shame.

    PT...remember that shot you made on that one bunny, far shot jumping the gap at Victor's... tumble tumble. Or the decapitation on that one in between us...

    Now that is cool! Hey, funny you mentioned the recurve, I am going to start shooting mine in the spring. I haven't shot one in 25 years...

    Is it true that you Virginians eat the brains and tongues of the squirrels?

    Never eaten the brains and tongues. I just skin em up and put em in the oven. I haven't truly squirrel hunted for years, but I am very looking forward to doing it this year.

    I wonder what they taste like. I don't have the plums to extract and prepare them myself. I might try it if someone cooked them for me.

    That's great man, enjoy. Talk about no pressure hunting! I think that is why I really enjoy squirrel hunting.

    I like duck hunting almost as much as I like to deer and turkey hunt. Only squirrel hunted a couple times but it was fun the times I did it. Might have to try that again..

    that's what I am talkin about ... there are ALOT of those memories with bunnies, birds, and squirrel ..

    Who could forget your buddies first rabbit ..still alive and Vic twisted it's head off and tossed it like a grenade then handed the headless bunny to him ...ROFL!!!

    I really wish NY would open a dove season .... looking forward to getting into more waterfowl hunting as well ...

    We have had some great times :)

    GregH- That's sweet! Maybe someone will try to hybrid those? coul dbe a marketing masterpiece.

    Dubbya- Holy crap! I am severely jealous!!! JK Those are some sweet pics. The scenery out there is breathtaking. Are those wild birds? I think I saw Pheasants, Huns, Geese and Dove? Chicken in the last? Looks like you got a great dog. Congrats. :rock:
