Yes, mostly Skye.
Had a visit last Friday with a surveyor that I know, They are yard adornments at the office,
Totally, a regional custom, I reason most here will be ignorant unless they have read Eudora Welty or traveled around the Delta or Dixie states,
I would think that would encourage the young "Cash Brothers" in the neighborhood to break out their BB Guns!
Just say'n...

Many a day back in junior high and high school I had a buddy or two that when we got bored, which happened quite regularly, we would go to the old dump on the south side of the tracks and on the north side of the river. It had plenty of targets. Old bottles and cans of various sizes were tossed up in the air in a safe direction and we practiced hitting those with the 22 rifles. We got pretty good at hitting the targets so when hunting season cane around we were prepared and the first one to shoot was usually the one to get the game whether it was duck or pheasant or geese. The shotgun was a lot more forgiving than the 22. I have a feeling that back long before we shared some ancestry Paden.
Do they also paint the trunk of the trees in their yard white?

We were lucky in that there was a horse lot that backed up to our place that dead ended at a creek, so .22 plinking was quite common. And bottles were definitely our favorite targets. Usually empty pint bottles that Pops would hide in the garage. He'd leave a half-full one in the kitchen cabinet just to make Momma Cash think he wasn't drinking so much. Soda pop bottles were a no-no due to the fact they could be exchanged for coins to play the pinball machines at the bowling alley.
As for ancestry...there's a good chance we share some Cash-like genetics. It's a rare blend of Scot, Irish, Danish, Northern European Anglo-Saxon, and German with a dash of Native American for flavor.
Your basic American Mongrel Cur. 😉
