Default Arkansas- Not Alaska

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!!
