>>Funny you should mention this. I'm heading up to the mountains of North Carolina for Thanks Giving week and I went to Academy sports and bought some pellets and some targets for the pellet gun I've had since I was a kid. (No firearms are allowed on the mountain.) There is no TV and no reliable internet access up there so I figured I would relive some childhood memories.
You must be heading off to a cabin or something. Most of the mountains have internet and cable too. :shrug: Maggie Valley is on the verge of almost being "cosmopolitan", and I probably would have headed up there next week if it would have been warm enough to raft without wetsuits. But no. I might stay home. I might drive to New York. I might go to Austin. I'm just playing it by ear right now.
We had a bb gun and used it to hunt extensive songbirds in my neighborhood. My boys, however, are completely banned from shooting any songbirds. I told them they could should buzzards, crows or hawks if they wanted to, but not mockingbirds, jays, cardinals, sparrows and such. If they want to shoot rabbits, snakes or gators, that's okay too - just leave the songbirds alone. We'll see how that all pans out and whether or not I get two new pellet guns. ;)
