Quite frankly Steve, we don't have any wild gamebirds around here anymore and no place to plant pen-raised birds for training purposes (I'm also in a 'no discharge' zone) so we work on mourning doves (a "songbird" in MA) and field sparrows and starlings. The mourning doves don't seem to have as much scent as do the sparrows and starlings.
I can't wait to get her on grouse and woodcock!!!!!
