Excellent point Bobgobble and I wish more would heed that.

I had a bud of mine run to a brid I dumped and if I needed a second shot I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE IT! Tried to point that out to him......

What I do after I have shot a bird is keep the gun in the birds direction! If for some dumb reason - all I did was wound that bird.....I am ready to take the second. If the bird flops to where I can't see him - I will at least move to where I can and again be ready.

I see no reason to run and as BobGobble informed you - I bet more than one of you are running with a loaded gun in the heat of excitement.
