Your bold statement is dead wrong. You might be correct with saying that southern boyscan out wingshoot or rifle shoot northeastern or west coast boys, but there is no way you guys can out shoot us midwest boys. I laugh at the way southerners wingshoot, and I see a lot of them come up to shoot at pheasants here in South Dakota. You guys are just terrible shots.
I have had the pleasure of shooting both ducks and geese in the company of two good friends of mine who inhabit SD. And if your general marksmenship is in anyway relected in them....then y'all are just a joke.
I'm sure y'all are much better at shooting a single phesant out of the clear blue sky at 40 yards with a full choke and 3" lead #4s with the same amount of powder behind it as a load of OOO buckshot. But, when you put a phesant man behind a pointer and a covey of 15 birds with his phesant thumper...its pretty funny to see them empty their 12s into nothing but pine trees while I double with a 20, and another friend knocks off a pair with a .410. Wood ducks are even better amusement...because if there is one thing those two from SD do not understand...its shooting birds around the timber.
There again, any poor sap who can swing a gun fairly fast can kill phesants...and if he has a lab worth its salt...the dog will even run down the cripples....but picking a single out of a covey...or a drake woodie out of a trio in the early light through the trees separates the men from the boys.
