Overheard in the G. House...

So I'm looking out the front window this morning, taking a look at the rain coming down, when I see four or five turkeys out in the street and on the neighbor's lawn. This is not an unusual occurrence - we've had literalyl dozens in the backyard on more than one occassion. I comment "Huh. There are turkeys out in the street", in case the kids want to see them yet again.

From the kitchen, my sweet, innocent little eight year old daughter bellows back:
"Shoot 'em daddy! Shoot 'em!"

Yep. That's my girl...

That is all.

Now, you don't want to thin your Emergency Food Supply TOO early, but as the Z-Man said... and just think of the Joy on your Daughters Face! You DO want to be a Good Daddy, Right? ; )

She thought you could hit them?

How sweet!

Well, it would have been with a shotgun at less than 50 feet.

That's minute of berm... :D

...and within 500 feet of a dwelling or building in use. I hope that you do not have any neighbors nearby.

See Massachusetts Ch. 269 Section 12E:

Kid knows where her turkey dinner comes from. Hope she doesn't tell her little 3rd grade friends... you'll be getting a call from the principal about your little darlin' telling her classmates the truth! Can't have that in MA...

.22 carbine and subsonics and let the kids know if they tell anybody they don't get any of it to eat...

A buddy of mine out here has a vacant 30 acre lot behind his house. Daily he has somewhere between 13 and 300 quail that land in his backyard for a little rooting around.

I've told him he is a better man that I am, because I would have been up in his guest room window with a nice quality scoped Gamo air rifle by now if it was MY house...
