7/13/2006: Arrow-shot ibis lives, evades helpers - Page 2

Local news usually has at least three of these a year, most often ducks or Canada geese, but I kind of recall one swan from a few years back.

It's hard to hit a vital organ with a target point.

IIRC, blunts are preferred for small game and birds, but you usually end up having to bludgeon the animal to death because they're just stunned.

I think the target point pushes the vitals out of its way as it penetrates.

Ooooooh... I said penetrate.

The Arrow And The Song
Poem lyrics of The Arrow And The Song by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

Yeah it hit a bird, ya idgit!
:p

Via Fark, the ibis is still not captured:

"Hunt and partner Marilyn Camp have spent hours chasing the bird from tree to tree. They threw fish on the ground to lure it down, and twigs to rattle it off a perch. But the bird would simply climb to a higher branch or flutter away as they advanced.

"Workers from the Marine Science Center and Holly Hill police have also tried to no avail to rescue the ibis."

to hell with the arrow..... " here comes Mongo!"
I wonder if maybe they should just leave him alone.
