Still happens in the US nowadays at turkey shoots. Often there are other
prizes, including bottles of whiskey, cash, frozen turkeys, cases of beer,
etc, but at most I've been to, particularly in the South, there's usually at
least one flitch or bacon, and a smoked ham.

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."
 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
