They dragged the bones out and carried them some distance. And they
completely ignore my compost heap, which is squirming with worms.

Odd. You're not in a soft-water area, are you?

Come over with the BSA sometime. I used to knock pigeons over with my
BSA Cadet Major.

I am confusing myself again - I have a BSA shotgun! It is a Webley
Mark III - still powerful (and, yes, I have measured its approximate
muzzle velocity at c. 550 fps) - but the sping clangs like anything
and it is no longer accurate at 30+ yards (my needed distance).
