WOW !! What memories you brought back to me. My first"job",that I made money with was catching pigeons in Dothan,Alabama .I sold these vto the local shoot club for 25 cents.We trapped them at the feed mills,the feeder plots and even on the roof of the old court house.Side bonus was I attended the shoots when my Mother did not know I was going.
Top gun was Stinkey Stenson,a somewhat shady characterbut a 12 year old boy's idol.Drove a big red convertable,always had a pretty girl on his arm and never worked.
Saw Stinkey win a truck one time by just one bird.Bird was hit but flew 20 feet out of the ring.I knew it was heart shot.Bird turned around and dropped dead in the center of the ring.Stinkey bought all a beer that evening(me too) at the billard palace(pool hall).
Wonder what ever happened to that guy..man he could shoot!!
