I have used preserves ocassionally for dog work, and for training my grandsons to work with pointing dogs and shoot over them.

I am lucky to live where there are still good numbers of wild birds, and that is what I hunt. I also have the time and the means to travel around the West and hunt where there are good populations of game birds. I am thankful for this.

If I lived where opportunities were fewer, and I could not get away, I would probably do some shooting on preserves. I do not enjoy it nearly as much as I do true wild bird hunting.

Less than 5% of my 'hunting' is on preserves.
