    looks like a Partridge to me

    But more likely to be a Male Cali Quail

    Not a quail. Twice as big.

    It'll taste pretty good. When are you going to eat it?
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    A mountain bike is plenty big enough to through at it.

    What a fabulous bird - just given me an idea - I want something different - looks like there are breeders out there
    I once thought about buying some pheasant and quail to boost low numbers on our place - but I killed the predators instead - the birds responded by themselves - saw nine pheasant going up the drive in the car yesterday - must piss them off when we turn up and disturb them
    Some different birds like Red Legged Partridge or Chukor would be great to see round the district
    I wonder how they would survive alongside pheasant
