Happy Thanksgiving ALL!!!! I'll add my recent OWL purchase, but I think I'll stick with eating turkey----although I understand peacock is quite tasty...at least the ancient Romans seemed to think so.
Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels to all! heres Diana about to shoot this odd looking turkey off the hill, her faithful dog already leaping away to fetch their prize...

Ummm, I wasn't sure which birds were considered good eatin' down there in the states, so I'm merely gonna post 'em all and you guys can shoot and eat the ones that look yummy, okay?
... gawd, a few of those babies look like they'd be pretty bad eatin', eh? (ummm, but a two bodied owl seems like it might feed a fair sized family?) ... sorry, I always get a bit carried away
... man, that is cool (I merely have a peacock "underneath" a throne) My version must be lower on the pecking-order than Mat's?
