Saw this guy today on the drive in. I didn't know they were putting a release site next to the dog park

That could cause some interesting situations ....

Be honest, ya think about trying to pluck a few feathers for tying?

Was thinking of all those city bred labs and golden retrievers who might suddenly remember they're bird dogs...

Growing up in West Seattle we had a pheasant in the green belt behind us. Always cool to hear him in the mornings. Occasionally he would pay us a visit, walking through the yard. Our black lab, would just plain ignore it. He wasn’t a good bird dog.

Whenever the damn geese come into our lawn to relieve themselves, I let out our two shit-zoos to chase them away…they just sit down on the deck and watch me chase them with a 6wt…

Dated a lady in Copperas Cove, TX. when I was stationed at Fort Hood. Neighborhood had 3 peacocks the were wandering residents. Darn things were a nuisance.

Thankfully I've already got a few - but it was a pretty bird!

We just got back from California visiting our youngest kid. He is at Azusa Pacific University, just out east of Pasadena. The hotels around there are not great so we rented a small house in Glendora for the weekend. Great little town btw.
But WOW... I knew peacocks were loud, but holy hell. Glendora has a BUNCH. Some nitwit way back in the day thought it would be fun to have peacocks. Well, now they're established. There's a bunch of them!
