One shot can make your day

Hi David,
Have to ask, did you eat the wood pigeon? My dad would shoot them and my mom would make either pigeon soup or cook them in a pressure cooker. Great eating.

They can be difficult to shoot and tough as nails to bring down. Saw my dad kill two with a single shot. Wish I could shoot half as well as he did!

That is a really nice looking Parker.

A 1/2 frame is on my wish list.

All the best,

Merv

Hi Merv.
Yes i did eat that pigeon and very nice it was to. Did you live in the UK as the wood pigeon is not a US bird i like the sound of the soup is it good ?. Hope you get your 1/2 frame gun some day.
All the best Dave.

Yes. I lived in the UK- N Ireland until I was twenty-two. Met a California girl on a trip to the states and the rest is history. That was thirty-three years ago.

I will check with my mom in regards to the soup recipe.

Thanks,

Merv
