Robins (not eagles)

[simplepeddler]

how many of you are having flash backs from the days where you pumped the Benjamin the fifteen pumps so that you could get a clean kill??
Robins everywhere on my place.

Robin jambalaya was always a favorite for my uncles when I was a kid.
I had no idea of the big picture.

I can't be the only one

a robin was like a greenhead...teet birds were teal!! Believe me we all learned one way.

[wtretrievers]

Oh yeah! There everywhere here. Was thinking the same thing. The boys got tired of the benjermins & went to slingshots! I said it'll never happen, they proved me wrong!

Same here, 22 shorts or the 22cal benjamin allways kept the pot full.

Robins? Those aren't Robins, there red breasted black birds. Makes them legal.

Never as good as the Ivory billed wood****** .....right??

Used to have robin hunting tournys...carry some "Tony's" seasoning and matches on me" take a lunch break...breast the bird real quick ....shave the end of a twig...jab twig through the breast....start a small fire....season...and cook the breast for lunch...then go back to hunting our tourny. Man i miss being a kid!

Yep, our old robin hunting grounds is now the Prien Lake Mall. I've even eaten a few mocking birds and meadow larks in my time. Robins are better. I remember one duck hunting/camping trip that one spoonbill and a bunch of robins saved us from starvation. I don't think that our kids or grand kids will ever experience what we did. Probably our great grandparents fed the family with what they killed as kids with a sling shot.

man, i was talking to some friends the other day about how good those little guys were. Big time fun going around sniping robins.

I ddin't have to pump my Benjamin 15 times to kill a Robin.
10 pumps on my old 22 cal. would kill a wabbit.

[yak'em-n-stack'em]

sorry ray, some of our parents wouldnt let us get the .22 cal benjamin.


THANK GOD

[SULPHITE]

YAK they must have you busy...ain't been around lately...

I was lucky enough to get a benjamin... .177 cal I think...going to my son now.
