[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 165722, member: 8"] Fair Chase Growing up on a farm in the Alabama foothills for the Appalachians we always had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, biscuits, a vegetable and iced tea for Sunday dinner (lunch for you Yankees). In late summer, the young chickens would be fryer size and one of us four boys would be asked to go out in the back yard and shoot one of the young roosters that roamed around loose. The rifle was an old 22 single shot with iron sights and the only place we were allowed to shoot for was the head. Sometimes the chicken would move its head just as the trigger was pulled and just get nicked and off it would run. Once a chicken has had a bullet hole put through its comb or beak it does not stop for a second shot so we would put down the rifle and give chase. The four of us barefoot boys would chase this poor rooster all around the back yard and through the barnyard and into the weed patches until we caught it. I grant you that it was not “fair” for the four of us to get after one fryer but it was a lot of fun. [/QUOTE]
