pigeons. We will take a pair of mules of package and the small one and the great ones
pot and the two greater Dutch ovens on the ranch. Oh, you found to make to boil fifty-fifty
a pigeon if you want a tender cake. Following to a frying of fish, a good cake of pigeon
it makes the most excellent eating going. I have done a lot an one, and I give notice
now that the creation of the cake falls to me or me I won't play. And
another thing, not a bird will be killed more than we can use. Of
course we will bring apiece a confusion house and some for the Mexicans."
We had on our horses during the morning, and as soon as supper was
on the possible white it loaded on and it started for the roost. Tiburcio
and Enrique accompanied us, and, riding comfortable, we reached the curve
a lot of times before the return of the birds. The roost had been in
uses but short once, but as us we patrolled through the lumber there was
the abundant evidence of an immense flight of pigeons. Earth was
it literally covered with pens; broken edges hung from almost each
tree, while in an example a forked hackberry had divided from the weight
of the birds.
We did to the outskirts of field of the lumber, and to the first great twilight
raw of pigeons started to reach their place that perches. We only had
four hunting rifles, and, dividing in pairs, us digitammo shortly the roost
after the dark. Glenn that Gallup has demolished to me as my pardner. I brought the cloth of juta
lootings for the birds, not thoughtful for a gun in to shoot so unfair. The
flights continued to arrive for fully a hour after we entered the
perch, and in half a dozen of hits we put in purse on fifty birds. Remembering
the admonition of Uncle Lance, Gallup refused to kill more, and we sat
down and he/she listened to the noises of grumbling of the grove. There was a
constant that chats some pigeons, and as them they established in the great flights
in the amount of expenses of trees, whipping the branches with their wings in search
of grip, they frequently fell to the earth to our feet.
