Let me clarify a bit.....

I have gotten old...so running is out of the question......being old and sitting for some time I am stiff......so now I take my time but never ever take my eyes off that bird.......if like I said he is flopping on the ground and his neck seems like a broken piece of rubber hose...he aint' going anywhere!

However after the shot and the grass is high an he disappears.....oh ya...I am going to be looking for him.....but I am always ready to take a second shot and do so IF....things don't seem right!

And so far......NO more lost birds! Ain't going down that road ever again!
