I remember watching High Chaparral in the late 60's when my dad was stationed at Sembach AFB.
My first experience with camp robbers was in the cascades of Oregon, I was in camp at lunch time and the fire pit was just coals from the night before. I ate most of my sandwich and chucked the remaining few bites into the fire pit. I had seen these weird fearless bluejay things around camp earlier then one cruised into grab my leftovers out of the fire pit, I watched as it stood in the coals and the feathers start smoking! I'm guessing not many nerves in the feet.
Still called "Coke" across most of the South ;-)

PS. Mr. Pibb is better!
PPS. No, it's not. But I bet some of you just went totally postal (in Texan).
I was elk hunting with a buddy about 20 years ago. We had found a nice spot to glass over a meadow, and he had laid a pair of orange foam earplugs out on the ground next to his foot. A few minutes later; “Hey, that f’n bird just stole my ear plug.”
That is a very interesting take. Meant to be funny, but with some motivation and direction, a quite achievable objective.
"All you all want an Orange Coke or a 7-Up coke with your hush puppies."
First time I heard that was 1988 outside Fayetteville, NC and I was wondering what planet I had landed on!
That and the checkout-ladies at the Piggly-Wiggly who wanted to discuss my grocery purchases. "I've never tried those Triscut biscuts before? Are they good? Progresso soup? I didn't even know we sold that. We're a Campbells family, you know." It was a shock for a Type-A Northerner who just wanted to pay for some food and get out!
In retrospect... it was more civilized, so I should have appreciated it more.

The Mad Minute record is 36 hits on a 48 inch target at 300 yards in 1 minute.
Back when I was 13-14 or so a farm pond would get too many carp in it and I would get a call. I'd put together a pop with shotgun powder and copper tubing. Toss it in the pond and set it off. Fish would float up and we would sit on the bank and shoot the carp with 22's. Since the pop was just smokeless and copper, therefore really mild, the nonshot fish would recover and swim back down, and we got rid of most of the carp.

Elk camp. About 3 camp robbers/pinion jays flitting around. One guy goes to his pickup and comes back with a fishing rod, ties a slip loop in the line, lays it flat on the ground and puts a cracker in the center. We watch. One of the robbers flies down, grabs the cracker, he sets the loop around this birds leg and the fight is on. Just like landing a strong fish except it's happening 15 feet in the air in every direction. After about a minute the bird tires some and sets down. The guy puts on some gloves, carefully gets the loop off the bird and the bird takes his cracker to the limb and chows down. We laugh.
He lays the loop back out, re-crackers, and backs off. Same bird on the same limb watches the whole show. Sure enough, he flies down, grabs the cracker, gets looped and off he goes. This lasts about 10 seconds and the bird lands, guy gently removes the loop and the bird takes his cracker and back to the limb he goes.
He lays it out again. Same bird, same limb. He flies down, grabs the cracker, gets looped ... and lays right over on his side, on the ground, waiting to be let go with the cracker.
We quit going to the trouble of the fishing rod and just tossed the crackers in the air. We're trainable.
Thank you,
MrSmith
