    Before guns a net was used to capture birds , a dog would point or set the birds and a net dragged over dog and bird. A dog on set was usually flat on the ground indicating the bird in front of them.

    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

    No, only the finest will do for the finest!! Be warned though, Gibo, this bird lark is highly addictive, incurable, will use up every bit of money you thought you should be saving for a trip, but it gets you among some of the finest people I know and have known, who like yourself, can dribble on and on and on about one bird for hours and that doesnt even include what the dogs have been doing

    big difference between a g-banger and a y-banger... It's a type of cheap and nasty shotgun, everyone seems to own one for a season or so
