Oh, in our kinder and gentler world “capture” just doesn’t have the same finality as “kill”. Like the valley girl -speak of saying that someone has “issues” and not “problems”.

Sort of like shoot and release.

Actually, I learned the term, as applied to a day’s take, from an old fishing friend who employed it when we had a couple of big Swordfish on deck. But, I veer off topic.

But, thanks Dean for your analysis, I like the idea that I “button-holed” those Ruffed Grouse with No. 8 shot. I will let you know about that theory after we sit down in a little while to eat what I have cooked up today.
