Sometimes I get the impression that the members are seriously knowledgably but shoot the doubles in more formal surroundings. I like to believe that these special pieces need to be used for hunting and please, I am not judging, just making an observation. Your comments will be appreciated.

The Easterner's in the U.S. do not have much PUBLIC land to hunt on, just about all of the land in the east is private......therefore, private hunt clubs, skeet and trap ranges and pen raised game farms is the norm, somebody's private farm etc., waterfoul being the exception in some areas..........Key word here is PUBLIC LAND.........
On the other hand, the westerner's in the U.S. have millions and millions of public acres to hunt on and do so with regularity.....and most of their small and large game is natural and wild and abundant.........the exception would be penned up game ranches like some in Texas where the animals are raised, exotic and domestic alike.....(fenced in)......and advertised heavily on T.V...(we call that zoo hunting)......
Personally, I believe in fair chase, PUBLIC LAND hunting only.......but other opinions here will differ for sure..........
Charls:....Sounds like you enjoy precisely the way hunting is supposed to be.....best of luck.......
