Boy o Boy you guys are som pretty tough characters!!
I shoot (hunt?) at game preserves every year. Some are better than others. When I was growing up you could hunt wild phesants on the San Joaquin Valley's west side in the skip row cotton. Farming and irrigation practices have made phesants extinct around here except there are a few in some of the duck country.
I enjoy a good "pen raised hunt". It get me out. It give me a chance to take out my older dbl guns. It gives me a chance to work my dog, take my wife or a kid hunting. I have hunted some clubs that you really had to work to find the birds. Is it So Dakota? Hell no, but it is fun and if it is a good club, it IS hunting.
I try to go to So, Dakota or Kansas or some where once a year, but I can't always do it... but staying home and "scorning planted birds" isn't hunting either.
