My grandpa and I were talking about hunting today and he told me a cool story. He grew up in Carroll County just outside of dellroy. His family was "poor as church mice" and he would rabbit hunt a lot to put food on the table. He had a dog that he would take with him and he'd set on top of a sulfur pile from an old mine. The dog would get a rabbit going and almost every time it would circle right around the sulfur pile and he'd shoot them with his dads old double barrel shotgun. He also said that the county game warden lived right up the road from him and back then there was a bounty on crows. He would take a pair of crows feet too the GW and in return he'd get six shells for his shotgun. Cool story I thought I'd share. My grandpa just turned 90 back in February.
No, Audrey was over in Pitt over the weekend and got those for me for fathers day. She also brought two howlers from Homestead brewing in Heath. [emoji41]What in the hell? Did Cotty leave you a beer?
I went to Pittsburgh for a ballgame 7 or 8 years ago. Great city and we had a blast. However that IC beer is awful. Bartender there told me it was recycled piss from the bathrooms at the steel mills. After tasting it I believed him.IC Light!!! Atta boy... Go Bucs!!

Was it statewide back then?Great story!
My grandfather spoke of the crow bounty as well. :smiley_blink:
That warms my heart Dale!Today was good. I strung Zach's bow and shot a few arrows while the meat was marinating. Made a phone call to congratulate grandpa Dunne! Jim I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and Joie says to set something up for us to come and see you. I'll send our new address when I'm done on here, but we want to come to you.
Grilled a London Broil that soaked in a garlic/ginger based marinate.[
