He would shoot at the pigeons to get them off of the barn. :)<br />My grandsons were out to the farm this last weekend and went dove hunting. For being 14 and 12, they are good shots..got 4 doves! Have given them one of my late husband's shotgun and one of his rifles. Still have some more, but will hold on to them.<br />Has Sweet Wife recovered yet from the snake?!<br /><br />Blessings!CottonLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253761109385226538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-48169355203277131302012-09-05T18:45:06.299-04:002012-09-05T18:45:06.299-04:00Aaron, I haven't shot a crow since I was twelv...Aaron, I haven't shot a crow since I was twelve years old...and no we did not eat them.

I guess I've been buying and selling firearms for close to forty years and I still get the itch to keep one now and then..of course they must be older or unusual, or fill a hole in my 'want' list.

I wasn't old enough to even hold the gun. I remember him telling me. When shooting at crows, that are in a tree. Do not shoot a crow, that is on a lower branch. If you do, all of the others will fly away. He said, shoot the crows from the top branches first. And work your way down the tree. <br />I watched him shoot a few, from the top of the tree. The rest stayed put. I don't know why it works, it just does. Thanks for a memory I hadn't thought of in years.<br /><br />And the shot guns bring back a few memory's also. <br /><br />Flier389https://www.blogger.com/profile/17000853030589477067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-26427701686216905272012-09-05T13:25:55.952-04:002012-09-05T13:25:55.952-04:00Crows live pretty old and have good memories.
