There's not enough wild birds left here in eastern N.C for me to really concern myself with hunting them.
Amen to that. I quit when my last dog died in '97. Before that, Dad had setters. Great dogs for hunt and home, although one we had didn't care for infant children. Ours ranged a little too far for the thick stuff we had to hunt, so I got a German Shorthair when I got my own dog. Just in time for the quail population crash. I miss bird hunting badly. I mean, I badly miss bird hunting.
