Buckstix- I did see your post, very interesting rifle. One of the reasons to ask for photos of more rook rifles.
LRF- I collect old hunting books, and some of them, from down south, have mentioned coot gizzard gumbo. I have hunted ducks since I was old enough to get a license, but never paid much attention to coots. Figured it was time to see if those southern hunters knew what they were writing about, so shot 6 or 7 coots one day. Found out they have surprisingly big gizzards, for a relatively small bird. With both of us living in Pennsylvania our entire lives, the gumbo my wife makes might not compare to gumbo from Louisiana, but to us Yankees, that gizzard gumbo was very good. You just never know until you try.
