you will spook many birds running and gunning when you first begin but you learn the "ropes" very quick
theres a very steep learning curve involved
Please explain how you go about not spooking birds when you run and gun? Maybe you can reduce the amount of birds but eliminate the problem,I don't think so. Especially if birds aren't responding.
I know a guide that runs and guns mostly and really doesn't care if he spook birds that aren't responding but he hunts about 7 different states and a ton of different area's so educating birds isn't a concern for him.
