There is much to appreciate about the shooting of Mourning doves. They have many attributes that make them a good sport species.

I find the end of the PP and the rise of the RG in literature a peculiar, yet fascinating simultaneous coincidence of events.

All you need to do is couple hard coal mining with the deforestation of the east all along every railroad track (to feed eastern cities with fuel for heat and cooking), and you get a death of the PP and a rise of the RG. Weird parallels.

Out there doing it best I can.
