I was watching a bird hunting show last night on The Outdoor Channel, and these two cats were setting behind a brush blind and hammering every dove that flew by. Well then they went to commercial and when they came back they were pigeon hunting. This one pigeon flew by and they shot and hit it 4-5 times and the bird made it into the timber. Well the one ol' boy looks at the camera and says "And you think that these birds aren't tough, We just hit that one with 4-5 shots and it still flew off."
Well that got me to thinking about all of the post on here about doing absolutely everything that you possibly can to recover wounded deer. I don't know how many times that I've watched bird hunters shoot pheasants or ducks just to have the bird limp off and nobody go after it. So is it OK to wound birds and not try to recover them or am I the only one that sees something wrong with this.
