The city dump. It was an extremely target rich environment. Some of the targets would move.

We lived in a house with huge trees in the back yard and large flocks of starlings would roost in them and use my mom's clean hanging laundry for "target practice". My father bought a Benjamin air rifle and told me he would give me 25 cents for each one I killed. I FILLED trash cans with those starlings.
