Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Our pond is almost full again! After being over 7 feet low last November this is a miracle View attachment 3501811
Bonus side effect is this cuts down on my weedeating.

That looks lovely.

I think you should. It would be a wise idea. Nerf gun quail hunt. You could get @BY Bob to come for it.

Is Bob a notably bad shot?

Oh there are plenty of licensed quail around. Mainly raised for hunting clubs.
I am not sure how they meet the ‘non-liberation’ requirements of the license - I mean what if all the hunters are really bad shots?
Maybe I need to host a quail hunt for people who can’t aim straight!

They probably have call back boxes. After the hunters are done Bobwhite roosters are placed in traps called call back pens. The roosters start whistling (calling back) the surviving birds. Then after a time the birds are gathered and but back in the pen.

She did attack Babs who was really just minding her own business working on the Artemisia clearance project.

Poor Babs!

Well now you have a broody, what do you think?

I don't know. It's possible. But a nerf gun cannot kill quail.
I am a terrible shot.

How interesting. I guess even that can’t be 100% certain to get them all back. But I guess as long as you show you do that you can get a license.
Hmmm.

Hmmm.

That's what I seen used several years ago when dad and I bird hunted. It's very effective but that being said it's probably not 100% effective.
