Classical Quiz.

Post by Mack The Knife » Fri Sep 29, 2006 3:03 pm

Identify the person in the pic and what is the history behind that pic.

No Googling or any of that smarty-pants computer wizardry.

This quiz is not open to AR members - now watch the number of hits on AR increase. :roll:

Winner gets a free spinner target.

Play fair.

If I am not wrong she is the Native American woman who killed a grizzly with .22 rimfire

Very interesting information..

Any idea how many shots she took, just curious.

One. It was a very lucky shot, so don't go trying to down grizzlies with a .22lr. :mrgreen:

If you Google Bella Twin, you may find the story somewhere.

You`re all wrong - the lady pictured is my great grandma and the `rifle` is a pop gun. The bear choked to death when the cork she fired stuck up its` right nostril.

Just curious. Did she pose for the pic before the shot? :-) or is the Girzzly propped up?

Cheers

The bearskin was turned into a fur coat for great grandpa - he was a BIG feller. The picture is taken in the wardrobe where the coat was hanging. The bear isn`t actually quite as big as it looks - great grandma lost her legs when attacked by an enraged Chipmunk who objected to her taking pot shots at it with her pop gun........Dangerous beasts Chipmunks.

Monish I`m afraid that I haven`t heard of Chipmunk stew - Mark would be the person to ask. I know that Squirrels are eaten in some parts of the US and see little reason why Chipmunks shouldn`t be eaten as well.

You'd have to be pretty hungry, as chipmunks are quite small!

But since you asked, here is the traditional way to prepare small animals like this - skin animal and discard feet, etc. Let the animal dry on some rocks for a few days. (take them in at night and cover them so they continue to dry) When they are dried, pound them between 2 stones to pulverise everything and then put into soup pot.


Now if you want squirrel recipes let me know, those guys are actually big enough to eat!
