Can't accurately speak of playing cards or poker chips and driven bird shoots in Limeyland, Stan. I was thinking along the same lines as you with the X marker designating a special place in the lineup. About 10 years ago at our former pheasant club (planted birds-tower shoots on Wintertime Saturdays- we had a "money bird" option--the trapper tied a blaze orange ribbon to the leg of a bird, picked at random from the bird box inside the tower (aprox 45 feet above ground level) and it was tossed at option- the gun who downed it won the $ in the pot. I tied with another shooter, it was a high towering rooster, feathers flew, we both apparently shot at the same time, and the "winner" was determined by the high card drawn at random from the deck. I won the pot with the Queen of Spades- also the "jinx" card in Hearts I believe. I like cribbage and euchre, stopped playing poker when "Texas Hold-Em" took over. I always liked 5 card stud, and also 7 card stud--not today.. When you are dove shooting in "Jawja" do you rotate assigned positions, or do you stay where you are until the shoot is over?? Holiday best to you, Ruth and all the Hillis gruppen. Foxie
