No Peace for a Dove Hunter
Dan Holland
October 09, 1961

Eddie laughed as only Eddie can laugh and turned to me.
"Don't be bitter," he said. "Don't be bitter."
All in all, that afternoon was quite an experience. I discovered that I would shed shot and that I was an evasive target—in others words, that I was about as difficult to bring down as a dove. It makes a man proud.
