Southern hunting is a state of mind. There are all the obvious differences, but there's also a cultural difference if you get into the real deep South good ole boy hunting adventures. They also have some very social hunts. Nothing like a gathering(by invitation only of course) at some farm hours before a dove hunt. A few ice teas, maybe a lunch, a lot of lies and story telling. I mean, the shoot is secondary to the days events. It's a slow paced, behave yourself, listen to the host instructions and ya'll play safe. It's truly a gracious event. Along with that you have quail hunts, deer dog hunts, all sorts of different things in the South. It's truly a much stronger tradition passed on from generation to generation. Oh you can find some of that up North too.... but folks, it just doesn't have the same flare. You will find too that Southern Good Ole boys tend to make up their own laws, bag limits, etc etc on their property. It's just the way it is. AND...if you ever want to be ask back, don't question it. I had some truly great times when I lived in Georgia with the good ole boys. I think I was their "TOKEN YANKEE". I was in 3 different hunting clubs and when the meetings turned to a little nip from the bottle it would always come up. "How in the HE!! did we ever let this Yankee in the club"? Southern Hunting is a State of mind. If you ain't been there, you don't understand it. If you've been there, you know exactly what I mean.

P.S. I don't care how many ruffed grouse you've killed. Don't EVER... I mean NEVER... try to outshoot a Southern boy on a dove field.
