I kind of like tower shoots because it is fun to shoot at pheasants which are not our local gamebirds. They are good to eat as well. I'd much rather go to the Midwest and attempt to shoot wild ones. I shot released birds the last years of my quail hunting career just for the sake of my bird dogs. I've never been on a European style driven bird shoot and don't expect to ever do it.
One outfit around here tried to have 'flighted' mallard shoots where the boxed birds were tossed up by handlers 100 yards up the hill from the 'duckpond'. The trees weren't thick enough. It was a joke...Geo
