I would HOPE that he's going to be donating them to a homeless shelter or food pantry of some kind.

1. I suspect the caretakers at the farm take 'em home.
You can bet your booty Cheney isn't going to eat them!

12. He doesn't like that kind of pie
He probably likes Mrs. Lovett's pies. Anyone who knows about Sweeney Todd knows what I'm talking about.

4. My guess?
They leave them on the ground to rot. At least they will feed other critters but I doubt he keeps them unless he has a personal bird gutter(dresser?) with him. I just can't see him caring about any of it except the "manly" pursuit of shooting harmless, hand raised, released in front of him birds.

Donate to the homeless and hungry, nah...no way in hell.

14. It makes me
fucking sick. I have no use for this. I can bring myself to tolerate hunting IF you need the food but this stuff just makes me nauseous. I have never understood the point of it. It is hard enough for me to think of any hunting as sport but this? Ha. He is lucky the birds didn't kill themselves flying into him.

8. Check them for Bird Flu
That's what they were doing right? Protecting Ah-mur-I-ka from bird flu.

9. I think that was at an earlier hunt in PA (Latrobe). No mention of
dead bird tallies this time.

19. No, no mention. This thread has confused the two stories.
Or created a new one. The 70 birds killed weren't in 2006 and they weren't in Texas. Do we even know if Darth killed anything in South Texas this weekend? Birds, I mean. We know he bagged a lawyer.

13. Have you ever dressed out a quail
and seen what's left? 70 quail = about 70 bites. And that's being genreous.

Really, I don't see why anyone wants to shoot them in the first place. By the time you get the feathers off and the buckshot removed, there's nothing left.

17. Correction to the above post: Birdshot, not buckshot
Birdshot. Buckshot. Still not much quail left.
