Up on the "dirts" where Edgar killed that one we used to throw rocks at them and kill them on the roadsides. I once threw nine rocks at one bird before he walked into the thick brush.... never touched him. (probably wouldn't have done any better with a shotgun)
Both the birds and I were pretty stupid back then....
So Edgar, did you shoot him?
