I enjoy the hunt. When the gun comes up the object is a dead bird, end of story it is no longer sport. On the ground or in a tree is fine with me even preferrable over a wingshot. I can hit them on the wing, I believe many many birds thought to be missed are hit only later to become fox food, this is especially true with flock birds such as ptarmys
