It ain't me it's Gopher Grease that's put's all the garlic in the food and he ain't had time ta help here cause he gots a new 9mm pistol and he thoughts he had to make 500 pounds of booolits fer it befer he returned my lead pot and booolit mould.

500 POUNDS?? Tell him to come to Virginny and get the ballast out of my sailboat! If he can get it, he can have it, but I'd like it if he made me some .454 250 grainers from it.

Russ T. makes a quick u turn somewhere around Salt Lake.

Did someone make reference to Chamber pots and nitrates?  Must I take umberage (did I really use a word like that , or just use the nitrates my family used to collect?  and make more stinkin' rounds?

[Silver Creek Slim]

Russ T, your picture has digressed.

Russ T, your picture has digressed. 

T'uther one was taken late at night in some gold field saloon.  I've had a good night's sleep or two since, and it freshen'd me up.

If'n yer rounds don't take down knock down's use black powder, that'l put more poop in yer rounds.

"Duke, ya want ta go ta the Dakota Territory with me, for several days,  and get some Chinese Chix? I'll be leaving on Friday."

[Delmonico]

Duke, stay here with us and we'll think up a bunch a meeestuff fer Slim while he's gone.   Sides that he's got a couple a dogs ta go.  Stay here and we'll take some time and go find some Prairie Chickens, Slim ain't thought bout huntin' them and he's right here in some of the best Prairie Chicken huntin' in the worrld. 

Duke ya'd a thought Mr. Gooooogle would a tolt him that.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Duke, which one looks tastier?"

   

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Duke ambles over in some randomly bowlegged way (like his namesake) and takes a look at the pictures. Of course, it looks like multicolored paper to him, so he just sniffs at it and sits, giving Slim a perplexed look.

[Delmonico]

Duke, Slim is tryin' ta flim flam ya again, that Chinese Chicken picture is an idealized arteeests rendition of a bird introduced from England in the late 1880's.  (Figger that little triva out, chinese pheasants from England?) 

The Prairie Chicken is a photo and shows the true image of the Lesser Prairie Chicken of the Southern Plains, but not the Greater Prairie Chicken of the Northern Plains where we are. (Note the NM for New Mexico on the photo.)  Oh don't forget we will also see some Sharptailed Grouse here also.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Is this better?

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Duke, Dakota was Greater Prairie Chickens and Sharptail Grouse, but also has:
Hungarian Partridge


Chukars


and Cottontail Rabbits.


Those Cottontails don't run as fast as these Jacks and they are alot more tender."

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Poor Duke is just sitting there, wondering why the two legs are arguing over some colored paper.

[Delmonico]

Duke he's tryin ta mislead ya with false information, now we caught him on the Lesser/Greater Prairie chicken thin' now he 's gotta go back and google when Hun's invaded Newbrasskeuy and the Dakotas, bet it ain't till the 1970's.

Also he's gonna work ya hard, hold out fer a good wage and benifits.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Duke, if ya flush a bird and I cripple it, when ya catch it ya can eat it."  "Every bunny ya catch, ya can eat."

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother pops back in, with a sprinkling of sawdust.

"Duke, better watch them bunnies. I don't know when they stop being full of worms. You don't want your innards crawling with worms."

"Sorry Duke, I fergot about that. And ya don't want fleas, neither. So, stay away from the bunnies."

"When do they stop being fulla worms? Doesn't the first hard frost have something to do with it?"

I think so. I am not an expert on bunnies, but have been told they can be wormy during the summer. In the south half of WI (where I live), the bunny season starts mid Oct. The the north half, the season starts mid Sept. So, temp sounds like it has something to do with it. My dog caught a bunny in the summer and couldn't kill it because of all the fleas biting her. Del, do ya have any insight into bunnies?
