I'm with topgun.

I like to shoot some birds, but killing them isn't what hunting is all about for me.

I like running my dog and watching her grow and develop. I like being outdoors and experiencing the seasons. I like finding new spots. I like walking up on a point and hearing the bird go.

I like to shoot some birds - especially ditch parrots - but most times I leave them alone so my dog can point them again.

I also run my dog a lot in the off season. Then I'm only firing a starter pistol and a camera.

BTW: last summer I talked to a guy who said he shot 60+ Ruffed Grouse a year. That's excessive. Who needs that many dead grouse?
