Guess I'm just old school. I hike for grouse, following my shorthair, carrying a double gun. Shoot them on the wing only. You know, the way a sportsman does it. If they make it to a tree they get a pass.
When in Rome....
Back here it is easier to shoot them flying, because it is not all that common to catch them sitting. Romantic tho it may be, nor does a double gun make the sportsman, pumps and autos work as well.
....do as the Romans do.
I would guess you have been known to shake a tree at least once or twice.
I just wish I had that many Birds to play the game the way I choose to play.
