I was the "spotter" looking for birds in the ditches as dad slowly drove down gravel roads just outside of town. Of course, the shotgun was in the front seat with us, ready to fire. When I spotted one, dad would place the gun out his window and steer the car with his legs as we edged up on the bird in the ditch. He aimed and fired -- a mighty blast from inside the car. (Got a little complicated -- and extra loud -- when the bird was on the passenger side of the car!). When he hit a bird (most of the time), he stopped the car and I got out running to pick up our "road kill" (or ran down the cornrows chasing a wounded pheasant!). As I recall, seldom did I catch a bird on the run ... wounded or not ... much to my father's dismay). Those pheasant hunting expeditions with my dad remain my best memories of a him ... better to remember than his shaming, anger, and use of a belt on his kids (to keep us "in line", of course!).<br /><br />Looking forward to reading your fox hunting from the airplane story.Todd Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07405101241180882849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-39029720136946107562009-05-09T11:22:00.000-07:002009-05-09T11:22:00.000-07:00Rev,
