Something Mike Mullikin is missing in TIH

What do you hunt? You should come to South Dakota. People from all around the world come for pheasant season. The mountain lion season has also attracted a lot of attention.

I don't actually do that much hunting, just what we call here rough shooting. At home it largely involves taking the dogs for a walk around the farm and just taking a gun and shooting anything worthwhile. During the summer I do some pigeon decoying, I've also been tasked with keeping the local cricket ground clear of rabbits & foxes (thought that is with the air-rifle[^] because it's in the middle of town). Apart from that we have a big problem at home with grey squirrels (especially now) but one of our dogs, Sandy[^] (first picture, far left) is a scarily good squirrel hunter. The other major sport at the moment is rat shooting (because of the duck & sheep feed). Most of my shooting however is clay pigeon shooting, the America trip was to the World Sporting Championships in San Antonio.

Sounds alot like what I do around my yard. Just been competing with my kid's cat since she seems to have a squirrel or chipmunk every so often.

I hope that Dick Cheney is not a regular vistor there.

Wow! I was just joking.

I keep telling Mum & Dad that the most useful thing the two pups could do is learn to pick up clays at the gun-club. We've got a good squirrel hunter (who climbs trees whenever she can).
I can just see it: "Here's a few pounds, pups. Go and get us some clays" :->

Nah, the point is they pick up the ones we missed, that way the gun club makes more profit because we can re-use those clays on practice nights.
Got your point. I was thinking you meant going and buying some.
