Reality Wild Bird Hunting
We do not provide or allow game shooting of such nature. We concentrate on the tranquility of a hunt that truly is a hunt as hunting has always been. The isolated pursuit by father and son or favored hunting partners and the single hunter, their dogs and the game. In every hunt the outcome is directly related to the hunter's own abilities rather than overpowering nature. These two birds came off a field that typically is less than a two hour hunt. This day the birds were working the hunter and his dog hard. Point, relocate and point again on running birds that sometimes flushed long or were hens at close point standoff. This day four hours were spent in pursuit with two rooster points, two shells fired and two birds in the bag. Both dogs and hunter were spent, thirsty and ready for a rest. Such a hunt as this with its lasting memories far exceeds a group on a drive hunt that fires multiple shells at individual birds. When To Hunt
