Squirrel hunting

By Mike Hall, March 21, 2021

A very young couple went to Big 5 Sporting Goods today to renew my fishing license.

AJ thought I was pretty fortunate that my fee was only $10.00 as he printed out the license.

‘Shoot, my license cost $74.00.

I’m from Texas’, he said. ‘I got a small game license to go with my fishing one.

We love to hunt in Texas.

I love hunting squirrels. And…I really love eating squirrels…their livers are delicious!’

I wanted to tell him that I’m from Kansas and we love hunting too.

Pheasants and magpies.

If he’d have asked, this cowboy would have told him that I love eating magpies the most.

Those pesky birds are soooo good.

I suspect it’s because they love feasting on roadkill so when you take a bite of a magpie, you get a burst of flavor from a variety of ill fated animals.
