Hi All,
Best pictures I have ever seen for realism. I hunt pen raised birds out of neccesity (few wild ones here anymore) but I prefer to hunt wild Ruffs when possible. I have been to a tower shoot and did not like it & would not go back again, it does not seem like hunting to me just shooting, not easy just not hunting to me. I did read Small Bores comment above (I do respect him very much) and I don't see a big difference between tower shooting and driven shooting as is often done in England and other countries. I am again not saying it is easy just does not seem like hunting to me when you have others presenting the birds to you by beating or throwing from a tower with a person and maybe his loader preparing for the shots & someone else retrieving the birds and someone else cleaning the birds as you walk from peg to peg.
I do want to restate that I think it is fine for others just not what a hunt is about for me. I like a few friends, good dogs open spaces beautiful vistas and a couple of shots would be nice.
