I could sure be interested sometime, but it will have to wait until I can get there while the shooting is good. I'm locked in the classroom until the end of June and it takes me at least a week to decompress enough to put up with that horrible flight . . . and I have to add the distance from California to Atlanta! Yuck! Some day . . .

Dear Oldsarge,

It is quite a distance to travel for only a pigeon shooting experience. I suggest you combine it with a predator call and hunt and maybe a plains game hunting safari.

Zing,
I'd more likely combine it with guinea fowl, spur geese, fishing, wine tasting and, most important of all, a complete orgy at all those African buffets. I don't know what it is, but though I've eaten in great hotels, on cruise boats, and am not too shabby a hand in the kitchen myself, nothing and I mean nothing beats the buffets in big African hotels. Man!

I hunt big game and feathered friends and love 'em both. I would absolutely love to get down to Africa on any type of hunt! anyone know a good outfitter? like to hunt kudu, buff, and lotsa birds-guineas, dove, sandgrouse, geese, ducks, you name it!

Well, this August I'm going to spend a few days in RSA after Mozambique chasing zebra and gemsbok with Nomad Safaris. I've met the operator, found him earnest and personable, checked his bonafides with the brotherhood here (and received rave notices!) and will talk to him about some shotgunning as well. We'll be talking at Reno. You goin'? Otherwise, you can probably get hold of him quickest through Tru-Life Taxidermy in Simi Valley, CA.

This is what a mornings bag of pigeon should look like!

It takes a village to eat pigeons? Man, that would make up one humongeous potpie!
