Are there any other bird hunters here?

Yep, dove and quail.

I go pheasent hunting when I can but there numbers are just really low around here when I do go I take graycie my wiemeriner to my buddys house who releases them for the state he releases anywhere from 45 to70 depending on the fox that year. We go shoot 4 a year 2 a piece.

I love pheasant and quail hunting but unless I want to drive 6 hours out to the western part of the state they just aren't around here. I used to dove hunt when I could walk out into the back yard and shoot them, but since we moved the school behind the house gets mad if you shoot a shotgun over the school

I know what you mean. Growing up in AZ and OK, there were quail all over the place. As a kid, I would hunt with my single shot 20 gauge and no dog, and I still killed more quail than I ever have since. Nowadays, I take a roadtrip to the Oklahoma panhandle once a year. It's about a 22 hour drive, but it's worth it to me to get into wild birds.

There's a lot of pressure on public ground in the St. Louis area during dove season. A friend and I (both retired LE) would love to get invited some place around St. Charles. We'll even buy lunch.

Most of my upland hunting is for Sharptails and Prairie Chickens. I used to run bird dogs but since growing up and getting a real career have found it harder and harder to justify it. It isn't fair to the dogs if I can't run them daily, so I now have one broken down old pointer that used to be a hunting machine that lives in the house with us. Best house dog ever, too.

Yeah, my pointer spends more time in my boat than in the field. She's a little too spastic to be a good house dog, but I let her in anyway. It's probably a good thing I'm single.

I had a koi pond in my yard in Texas. She would spend hours pointing those fish.
