Several of the islands have turkey. I have heard of quail but never seen any.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Anybody remember when San Juan was absolutely overrun with rabbits? Not so much anymore. I'm sure there's still some there. Can't imagine where to hunt though unless you have a private 'in'.

San juan but you cant hunt fox on anyof them and hunting permission is really hard to get. Lots of bunny huggers on that island.

There is a whole half of the island that is closed to hunting. Places we both wish we had permission.

 :chuckle:

I've seen some huge racks on some small bucks out there.

I've also seen some rats the size of cats. 
Those islands are seriously infested with rats.

Phesant common up there? And also I have heard that the rabbit population has gone down up there. Is this true?
