Pete I certainly agree with you. When I hunt pheasant, bobwhite, sharptails etc... with my Brittanys it is a bloodsport and about the hunt, not the food. The kill is an integral part of the hunt. I also field trial my dogs in the National Shoot To Retrieve Assocation. The picture to the left was taken at one of their field trials. This is a competition for bird dogs that includes the shooting and retrieving of pen raised birds. This is also bloodsport. I pass shoot pigeons. They also shoot birds for some AKC events as I have gunned for them.
But ed is trying to cut the sport shooting of crows out from the herd and I want him to take on the whole herd.
ed there is a thread over on the Doublegun BBS about the ethics of competition pigeon shooting. I think the audience for your anti-hunting anti-crow shooting arguments will certainly be larger there than here. Of course the probability of offending a prospective purchaser of your products will be larger too.
Best,
Mike
