I've planted thousands of birds. Spent hundreds of hours training mine and other peoples dogs and judged versatile pointing dogs for 20+ yrs.
Nothing compares to wild.

This is why it's not an issue if he hunts with a can of corn, 300 dogs, or a drone. If it's not a wild hunt, it's just what it is. In the wild, with wild birds, I'm not a fan of such things. In manufactured hunts, I don't care.
