Not Christmas Robert, but they are thinking about Thanksgiving this year.

Do they visit around Christmas? I'll bet they would love to go hunting with you.

The Grandkids have left for Houston, yesterday after Church. Kinda quiet around here today. I hated to see them go. They love the outdoors and doing things outdoors. We shot rifles and pistols, built a wilderness shelter, camped overnight at the farm, drove the pick up (they love doing that), fished and used knives many many times. They each got lots of Grandpa's knives to take home for their collection. We are sure going to miss them.

Any story involving a knife might do. It doesn't have to be life or death.

I have a great idea for a new discussion, that I will be starting soon. I'll give you a hint about it. What would be or do you have a hair raising, harrowing experience that a knife played a major roll?

  I'll let Ya'll think about it a little while before I start it.

You are right, they should be call nuisance birds, in some instances. I have a friend that has a Crawfish pond and there are some birds that cause a lot of damage and cost him money. The law says all he can do is try scare them off. I guess all we can do is try to get the law changed.

Hmmm...  Well when if comes to gull and pigeons (at least in the urban environment) I wish you could just legally shoot on sight as nuisance birds. They drive away the otherwise native birds and animals.  Nasty diseased ridden rats with wings yet if i kill one I can be fined or jailed!  Just doesn't make a lick of sense.

I must mention this for general info, I'm not a kill joy. As the host of this group, I feel it my duty.

  A Robin is a song bird and should not be harvested as food. Black birds on the other hand are crop predators and can be harvested for that reason or to eat. I have eaten Black birds and they are okay. There is plenty of Game birds and crop predators to harvest, so we don't need to kill song birds. Someone mentioned eating Robins, so I thought I'd mention this. I am sure if in an emergency situation that all is forgiven. If someone is not knowledgeable or a young one reads our post, I just want to set them straight. In most circumstances, it is not okay to shoot song birds.

  I hope I have not stepped on any ones toes, but as I mentioned earlier, I am the host and I had to set everyone straight on this.

I'm with Tobias.  No fishing equipment, no hooks in your hand, no cleaning, no bones; marvelous.

I like filet fish because it's easier to cook and eat and I don't have to worry about the young ones, swallowing a bone.
