[Tweeters] Woodpecker Decoy - shooting and eating a Pileated

[Stewart Wechsler]

I think it was almost 30 years ago that I had a classmate at the community 
college whose dad immigrated to this country, I think from Japan, and he was 
bugged by a Pilated Woodpecker that, if I remember correctly, was drumming 
on their house or nearby.  He shot it and they ate it.
