Mountain Hound
It's fall, and it's time. I am so busy at work that I haven't started hunting yet. While I will go Elk hunting later this fall, this is the time I am normally bird hunting. I was curious if there were many bird hunters around here, and what you prefer between upland game, waterfowl or both.
I love both. Waterfowl has a unique quality where you are out at O-Dark:30 laying your decoys, slugging through freezing water and muck, and it's all worth it when you call in a group of duck or geese, and they flair. I missed Teal season, and will miss first split of Duck. The same thrill and good eats can be said for Pheasant, Chukkar, Grouse and other upland species. I am hoping to make a trip to Montana or S. Dakota this year for some serious bird hunting, thinking that if I leave the state, I can't get too busy with work to go.
As a shooting sport, Sporting Clays is my favorite. While trap and skeet are a lot of fun, there is something about clays that appeals to me. It's the same reason I play golf. "You never know what your gonna get".
Anyone care to share their stories?
