PTERYPLEGIA

[Sir Charles deMouton-Black]

The article with it is much more pleasant to read. The point, for me at least, is that the basics of BP in shotguns is really old news, and still quite valid.

How quickly some seem to forget.  How often when one presents ones self for a new game license and asks for the  Pterodactyl stamp ... whom ever is behind the counter, will look at one as if one had THREE heads.  Have they all forgotten that particular creature is migratory and requires a migratory bit stamp just as a Duck would??  Humpff.

It is also recommended one should consider something of about "8" bore.  They can be somewhat difficult to bring down.  A Retriever somewhat larger than your average Standard Poodle is also suggested.  Me Thinks.
