How many birds do you shoot in a season?

I make my wife eat pheasant daily, most of the fall…and our pets, too…I don’t make her eat our pets, I mean I feed them all my game birds…they love them braised, it’s fun watching my wife and the pets eating these birds..when they’re done they’re let out of the locked cell.
Honey appreciates me sharing the birds she has worked so hard for too. She doesn't even complain about my bland cooking style.
 
How much time do I spend hunting? Not enough. At some point we will forget how many birds we shot, but remember the dogs and the special people we met along the way. Like the school bus driver in Iowa that informed us where he observed the most roosters on the road. Or the farmer that stopped at our motel room and asked us to shoot off the mallards in his newly swathed barley up in Sask. Just good people.
Don’t let birds just become a number.

I make sure I keep any game farm birds tagged as such, just in case it were to ever come up.
I make sure game farm birds are stashed in the very bottom of the freezer under everything else. This way I can avoid embarrassment in case a guest has to go in there for something. At that point they're like a few girls I met in my early 20s, never to be spoken of again. 😅

Here I thought you were going to say the girls were in the bottom of your freezer........:eek:
 
Is this pertaining to the fact that for longer than I've been alive you shot other people's birds for them breaking the law in Iowa? Or was it more about the fact that you counted other licensed household members toward a family possession limit for birds that you yourself had shot? And what about hunting ditches in Iowa where it is completely legal? I know you see that as lacking integrity although it is completely within the law. It sure is easy to judge others until you yourself have to look into the mirror.
Marty are you calling me out on this?
 
Society really doesn’t function well if each of us can decide which regulations, or laws, we deem worthy to follow does it ?

Yeah, I wouldn’t turn in the upstanding person fishing for lent, but I also wouldn’t do it myself, I’d probably give them some of mine from the freezer, then I would be in the clear. Now a Lutheran would be a different matter, depending on the Synod.

All of us here I’m sure will always make the right decisions, but those deer hunters, I wouldn’t trust them to make their own interpretation of the game laws. /s
I knew a game warden, and he told me that 90% of the big game hunters that he checked, had some kind of illegal activity going on. 90%

I gave some birds away to these Indians that live down the street, and those people are very appreciative.

When I was in my twenties I picked up this girl in this sleazy bar up in the Canadian, and that's about all I have to say about that. She was very, very low brow!!
