don't you have to gut the thing before you cook it any way? what happens if you shoot it in the head, the head would be full of flavor?

It ceases to amaze how Oliver comes up with this stuff. You truly are a internet lunatic. And I just earned some notes for my gaming addiction.

DINGDINGDING!

at least, you shoot turkeys in the head/neck. as for other birds, i dont know yet (i'm actually going pheasant hunting on friday), but yes, the shot penetrates far enough that it hits organs and kills the animal. then you take those organs out.

45 yard range is really bad. you need to be at least out to 40-50 yards before you shoot at upland game (pheasant, quail, etc.), or there won't be anything left of them!

Adam, you should also aim at the head of a pheasant. They're big, but they're very tough to hit because of their bizarre flight patterns. Lead the bird a fair amount and you should be okay. You taking a dog w/ you?

no, you've seen my dog.

the place we're going includes guides and dogs. then they clean everything for you and bag it.

pretty much all i have to do is pull the trigger.

I bet he gets to wear one of those fancy d*ck Cheney hunting shirts. Tan w/ the little blaze orange pad on the shooting shoulder.
