Another Damascus Horror Story...

[Bruce Day]

Joe Woods, thanks for the update on Texas quail. Texas quail shooting is a whole culture from the Panhandle to Kingsville and you folks take it seriously. Quail numbers are on the increase up here, hopefully its very temporary in Texas and the problem can be solved.

The best thing the little 16 had going for it was that it was in unbutchered original condition. Sounds like its doing well by you. I had run a lot of Rem Action cleaner through it from externally but sounds like there was no better way than to take it apart and clean it.

Glad to see you shooting only the male quail. Folks may have thought I was joking but it can be done but just looking for the head and concentrating on only that target.

Best regards.

I don't doubt that it can be done but I know absolutely my shooting student Joe Wood can't do it. On those rare occasions he downed a bird I always knew it wasn't the one he was shooting at.

Best,

Mike

Wait a minute, I'm confused. Joe posted the pictures of the cock quail, so I thought he shot them. You mean you did? That scalawag! You mean he con't be trusted? Did he go out and buy dead quail?

Now Joe says that you are the shooting student and you call Joe your shooting student. Am I confused or am I being Texased?

Bruce, David Yale told me he had never seen a gun so gummed up that still worked. He was very surprised it did. Seems to me the only thing squirting cleaner into a gun would do is soak the stock with crud 'n oil. Just MHO.
