I you see any more Guinea fowl please shoot them too.
Stupid noisy pesky things. Not even real good in the pot either.
O.M

I will comply & not only for that but my last South African meal prior to departure was a lovely Guinea Fowl pie much like a chicken pot-pie. It was complimented w/ beet slices. I'm thinking about rounding up some Dunghill Guinea Fowl here in Alabama and attempting a pie???

Wild Guinea may not be so tasty, but I've eaten plenty of them growing up and iirc they were pretty good. You couldn't catch them like a pullet, but had to shoot one out of a tree for the pot...Geo

They make a good gumbo too.

Ford, that gumbo sounds tasty. Have you a recipe?


Just returned from Bolivia capping off the 1/2 Century Mark World Tour where I shot more than my fare share of pigeons. Doves were in the mix also. But I was afforded the honour & privilege of handling the owner's Olympic & Pan-American games Perazzi MX4 Oro 12 bore full / full, with what I think was a game grip? Never really been a Perazzi fan but even with 30"+ tubes & being a bit heavy @ say 8.5 pounds, or maybe near 4 kg, it was a wand. I was told it was trained and no lie a couple times I didn't even look & just swung thru & a dove fell. Also I was fortunate to shoot a 20 bore stacked Perazzi.

Great pics. Love the MX4. Perazzis have a special feel that defies their weight, in the heavier models. My old MX8 weighs 9# 3 oz., AIR. I love to see shooter's faces and hear their remarks when they ask to shoot it. They cannot believe it weighs what it does.

SRH

You are most correct Stan & I'm not sure how they hide the weight.

I�m curious what outfitter you used in Bolivia? I�m planning a trip to South America next May/June to shoot decoyed pigeons and am looking at places in both Argentina and Bolivia.

Bolivian Adventures and they run a well oiled machine. There are only a couple in the whole of Bolivia. In the May / June time frame you don't have to drive too terribly far to the fields. But you do have to purchase a 10 year visa. Tell Felipe I sent you.

Or for either or both Bolivia & Argentina contact John Wiles @ BestWingShooting. Also tell him I sent you and hopefully they won't throw too many rocks at you?

Thanks Raimey. Much appreciated. I've been to Argentina twice. Once for doves and once for ducks. But I haven't done decoyed pigeons. It looks like a whole lot of fun.
