As a kid growing up in New a Hampshire it was a Sunday afternoon tradition in October to ride the back roads and bird hunt with my family. Whoever saw the bird first, which was usually sitting on a stone wall, got to exit the car and take the shot. I killed many grouse that way. We would go home and my mother would cook the birds for dinner. Great memories. Would I do that today? No, but still I recognize the tradition and do not frown on it. There are plenty of birds, and no one owns the “correct” way to hunt them. Sorry, JMHO
