  4. Transplanting flora and fauna seldom produce good results. For example: Kudzu to the Southern U.S. and rabbits to Australia.

  5. Y'know, th' mourning dove has left Central Texas...
    I wonder if we could git some of them flying squirrels sent down to...well, never mind--they wouldn't taste the same. Would they?

    1. What are you talking about? Proof or it's lies. The WhiteWing Mourning Doves have taken over and are moving further north every year. I can remember in the early 60's if you wanted to hunt WhiteWing Mourning dove there were five counties along the Texas-Mexican Border that were legal to hunt in. Sixty years later they are everywhere.
