      Now that is something I miss. Taking people snipe hunting.

      use to send my kid out in the back yard, hehe, all day he'd snipe hunt with a stick...snipe snipe snipe. It was like what my Mother use to do with us, give us a couple morton salt shakers an tell us if we could put salt on a birds tail, we could keep em...never did catch them damn birds.

      All you need to catch these ducks is a piece of bread or a french-fry. It says to bait them in and catch them with a net. My sister said to use a cast net and catch 'em 6 - 8 at a time. Believe me it could be done.

      I remember the last time I participated in taking someone snipe hunting. We were camping at Coopers Gap and had a newb with us. As teenagers are want to do, we convinced her it was a legit thing and then left her in the woods. We didn't go far and didn't leave her for long but I did feel a little bad when she started crying and then about 20 minutes later a bear ambled in to camp. It was a complete coincidence but it probably scarred her for life and I doubt she ever camped again. I feel a lot worse about it now than I did then. :blush:

      I was probably around 7 or 8 when my dad built me a tree house. I went up there with a salt shaker hoping for a bird to pour it on.

      ATM, once you catch the ducks I guess using exhaust fumes might be the best way to terminate them.

      Note valuable lesson I learned in my early teen years. I had 120 chickens I sold the eggs from, which was a great business for me at the time. Unfortunately the hens got older and stopped laying, so my family ended up eating a lot of chicken. We usually wrung their necks, but one time decided to chop their heads off. Unfortunately they do not die instantly when you do that. They kept running without their heads slinging blood everywhere, and of course my mom had white sheets on the clothes line. So my advise would be to wring necks over chopping off heads (although it might make a good you tube video).

Whew! 6 days later and the first one just cleaned me out. Like James Brown, I feel good. I finished my first week back at work successfully. My wife and I are planning a big trip for this 4 day weekend, so I hope to have a new topic with lots of cool mountain pics for you next week. I'll prolly check in with ya'll during the next few days of work. Bird Brain, I wish I could write as well as you.

      Deer Hunter, I'll clean out my PMs on that other site.
