	Try OPS5::GOLF

	P.S. Try EASYNOTES.LIS which is updated each Friday night.

	Aside from that, " GOLF " ? Shot one once, damn hard eating
	even after you boil 'em for 30 minutes.

    8^), Yes, I know what you mean.  I tried "slicing" into one and
         had the hardest time making a meal out of it.
    
    

    but then if set the "hook" and try "chips" with a little green on the
    side with just a wedge of sand it isn't too bad.

    Problem is once you skin'em and clean them you get so little meat, just
    takes too many to make a decent meal.
    
    On the other hand its a real fun to shoot them on the fly...

    	I don't worry about how little meat on each one. When I go,
    I usually end up shooting a lot  8*)

    Yeah, but I like to PUTT them on the plate when I slice them.
    
    bob
    

Great fun to shoot, I find that # FORE shot works best to take em on they fly.
However, I find the meat a little rubbery.  ;^)

I can't believe that you guys have ever even seen one.  All I've ever
seen is their eggs!

Now talk about bad tasting!  Yecch.

Jerry

P.S.  And another thing.  Everytime I raid one of their nests, I get
someone mad enough at me that they come after me with a big, funny
shaped stick.  I'm thinking seriously about giving up the sport.

    
    	I have never hunted them 'cause I don't like the no-gun rule they
    have on them.  I watched those dedicated hunters go after them out in
    those open meadows but I could never catch on to the point of it. 
    First they try to smash there little brains in with those metal sticks
    but those critters would just fly away on them.  I have to admit those
    little things aren't too bright since most of the time would just land
    back in the middle of the field and those hunters would have a big grin
    on their faces knowing they could sneak up an try to smash em again. 
    
    	The really smart ones would go flyin' in the woods or duck under
    the water, you knew they were smart cause them hunters would start
    cussin so hard they would embarass a drunken Marine. 
    
    	But I figure the little critters have some tough hides cause no
    matter how hard them hunters smashed them they would always fly away
    until they jumped in their dens.  What really amazed me was that those
    guys would actually stick their hands down in the hole and pull em out. 
    Now that takes some big cajoles if you ask me, no way I would stick my
    meathook down the burrow of some wounded animal. 
    
    	I guess the best part was at the end of the hunt those guys would
    have their expensive looking game pouches stuffed with the little
    critters sittin around suckin up the brewskis talking about how brave
    they were sticking there hands in the hole and how few hits it took to
    catch em.  Course, I didn't here too much talk about the ones that got
    away, but hell, all of us hunters do that anyways.

	Well written and quite humerous. Boy, we must all be getting
	itchy fingers waiting for Deer season. I guess humor like this
	makes those last few weeks past quicker.

	Red - Only 38 more days until Georgia Rifle season begins..

    Hey Red,
    
    I got your pallet.  Also, why don't you come over Saturday afternoon
    and take a look at the monster buck from Ed's place I will have in the
    back of my truck?
    
    God, 38 more days, huh.  Thank god for bow season.
    
    Bob
    42 more hours until I am in my stand.  HOT DAMN!!!!

	No can do, have Braves tickets for the 15:00 game.

    I still cant figure out the different species.  From watching them it
    seems to me they are all the same, but I understand their are all sorts
    of varieties.  They have Birdies, Pars, Bogeys which are the norm and
    they also have Eagles, which are real good and Double Bogeys which are
    real bad.
                                                                    
    Seems like a funny sport to me.

	Birdies       = Grouse

	Pars          = Jack's relatives

	Bogeys        = Nose fallout

	Double Bogeys = Using two fingers at once

	Eagles        = Federal crime to shoot

	Make sense now Earl ? ;-)

	Red

    Earl will harvest his limit of double bogeys in a half day:)
    
    just kidding.  we know better.
    
    bob
    

    Maybe I will harvest my limit in a half day Bob, but I will always
    better your limit by at least 1.
    
    Earl

    alright smartie pants, so you bettered me by one.  I'm gunning after
    you.  You're going down, son!  Inhumanely at that.
    
    While I am bow hunting sunday, tape Buckmasters for me would you?
    Snicker, snicker!
    
    bob (20 hours and I'll be walking to my tree stand.  Hot damn!
