Is it possible to successfully hunt bird without a good bird dog?
See i am i dee huntera and i am new to bird hunting but a frind of mine started bird hunting and it sounds like fun sport but i dont want to get a dog unless i have to. I dont want a dog because i dont have all the resources to take care of one and thoere would be too much training to do.
done it for years with no dog but now have a lab and much more fun.
i was out today in sgl252 here in pa.
i had so many hunters FOLLOWING ME around and trying to get in postion to shoot bird i missed.
it was real bad.
everytime i flushed bird, there was orange hunter waiting .
problem is i could not shoot as they were in line of my fire.
so, i went over and said, instead of you guys hiding trying to shoot birds my dogs flush,why not come hunting with me..
guess what, they both limited out and i got NO BIRDS.
each offered me 1 of their birds, i said, no.
they have young families and its big thing to them..
i enjoy hunt ,not killing..
i had guy that was close to pulling gun again this year on me,he said birds were his....
some are cracking up hunting pheasants,real nuts out there..
this is why i feel a 20 dollar pheasant stamp should made law..
this would get these low lifes out of picture...
