Buzz,
Can you not understand that Stan likes his predator role, but he also takes that position responsibly? I certainly can. Just because you have "moved on" to a different position regarding taking gamebirds does not mean every one else should feel compelled to do so. Just because you see declines in bird populations where you hunt doesn't mean he does. Just because you have bird dogs that you enjoy more than the shooting doesn't mean he does or needs to.
The Bob White Quail has been in decline for 35 years over its original range, and Texas has such wild fluctuations based on rainfall alone that it's impossible to make any sense of where it's going.
Your suggestion for Stan to go to a magazine gun is pompous and arrogant. Why don't you go to a bow and arrow or spear?
