So you ment you verses the bird. You will never be the Hunter the hawk is. I mean you bought birds had them planter and used dogs to find them. Went home and ate your grocery store food, you pork eater.

IMHO hunting released birds is still hunting. The dog doesn't care and unfortunately its jus t the way of the world here. A wild pheasant in Michigan is about as rare as a winning lotto ticket.

Calvin, here in Michigan we are not as lucky as you, you have wild birds, here we don't (and don't believe our DNR

) So if you want to hunt your dogs we have few options once the grouse season closes or as this year's weather too cold in Dec and it's not fair to push the grouse in that kind of weather. I have hunted at the Hay Marsh and it is just about as close as you can get to wild bird hunting on a preserve as you can get.

About 40+ years ago I was squirrel hunting and just after daybreak I knocked down a busytail. Not wanting to move I waited about 10 mins. and after seeing no more activity I walked over to the spot where he dropped. Leaving my rifle propped up against a tree next to my stool I eased over. Coming around a big Hickory tree I come face to face with a monster skunk which had begun chomping on my prize. He saw me at the same time I saw him. I don't know who was more surprised. Not having my rifle there was'nt much I could do but slowly retreat. He grabbed the squirrel and lumbered away leaving me squirrel-less my stink free. Lesson is- always carry your weapon when you are moving. How many of you have gotten out of your duck blind or goose pit to relieve yourself or to rearrange your decoys only to look up and see one or more birds with their wings cupped gliding into your spread?
