> Let the mystery die here. I was in the Chihuahua area on Feb. 7th with a group of fellow bird watchers. We had heard this was a great spot for blackbird viewing. We were also trophy hunting for tigers and other land creatures - trophy hunting. A dual mission. We had heard tigers and other wild creatures were plentiful in the area. But we had already been there two days and seen nothing. We were getting frustrated. I remember hearing a member of our party scream, "I can't take it anymore", before raising his rifle to the sky and pumping away. Others followed suit. They were not aiming at anything, just taking out the frustration that comes with a disappointing hunt. One member yelled, "Don't do that - don't shoot at the sky", but the group was already heavy into it, so the guy yelling stop joined in, blowing bullet after bullet into the sky, all the while screaming, "Something's got to die!" I was the last one to join in. I hate to admit it because typically I am not a follower.

He squirmed on the ground pleading, "Take it out, take it out", as one of the others grabbed the bird by it's tail and yanked out the beak, which unfortunately had the guy's eye attached to it. The next day infection set in and he died a few days later. We buried the guy in the desert and never reported the incident. Only now, safely out of Mexico, do I reveal this to you.


Was my post too long for you, Judith?
