Just curious, as I live in a "no quail or dove hunting State- but grew up reading about both game birds in stories by Nash Buckingham, Havilah Babcock and Robert Ruark, among others cut from that "Tattered Coat Cloth"-- "We Only shoot cockbirds (burds) in Dixie- is it true that Southern Gentlemen only: (shoot for the outgoing, from a covey, the "edge" birds, and never into the covey? And once a large covey is scattered, and you are working your dawgs on the "scatters"-- you only shoot the cockbird, and if only a single henbird flushes, you let it fly off unscathed?? RWTF
We don't see Passenger Pigeons up Nawth now, but my area farms (dairy and beef cattle) have a shitload of barn pigeons. They can be tricky targets with the wind behind them, and some altitude under their wings-- love to shoot them.. RWTF
