-- In my beloved USMC, we called them "Irish Pennants" and trimmed them off our Utilities with a fingernail clipper before the Sgt. Major's inspection in Boot Camp--

Gunny Hathcock was at MCRD Parris Island- when Alaska became our 49th State- He grew up in Arkansas- back then I am sure they had quail- not so sure about pheasants that far down in Deep Dixie- Just read my rich yuppie Dentist's (he shoots pen raised quails with a Beretta 28 gauge O?U (the Dick Cheney limited edition) copy of Shootin' Schwartzman-- talks about how the great era of quails in Dixie was from after the War of Nawthern Aggression ended until about 1905- small farms, lotsa weeds and cover, mild winters, and predators killed by farmers and tenants to keep their poultry safe) now that's all gone with da wind I am afraid- and quail hunting per se has become a sport of the super rich, just as a driven bird shoot in Limey-land or the European Continent-- c'est la vie!!

This Canuck is officially de-obfuscated with the help of the USPS reference

Alaska A.K.A. AK
Arkansas A.K.A. AR

No Quail in AK and No Ptarmigan in AR (w/o the intervention of a taxidermist)

My understanding of the Irish reference was not of Pennants but of Pennance required as a result of the S/M inspection.

Cheers,
Jack

-- Thanks Jack- did you get my PM re: your Dad's 30-06 BA 1917 sporter? let me know how things are re: that- darn fine older BA rifle!

[TARNATION !!!]

Did get the PM, thanks. I'll find my way down to the man-cave tomorrow and give it a go. Won't be the mag, as I already have the stock removed and the floor plate, box and spring. Will get there. Trouble is, it starts to get me thinking there should be venison in the freezer, not just a couple roosters.

Cheers,
Jack
