I've said it before. I keep a pair of Fiskars pruning shears in my game bag. I use them all the time. They can save a lot of blood and sweat.

My thighs look like I got shot with bird shot where my Filson chaps had gaps. Doodles like it thicker than any other bird.

I wonder if it is in relation to the proliferation of avian predators.
Probably not. More likely it is because they have no eyelids and seek shady, even dark, areas to feed. It seems down here that they like vertical vegetation, that allows them to take off quickly and climb vertically.

big scratch Tom. kind of looks like a train track. If it scars you can tattoo a little Choo-Choo on it.
