Well, went to yantis 700 release pheasants towershoot. 20 guys Shot 78. Amazing day. Put some 3 inch and 2 3/4 to the test, and let me tell you: i am DONE with 3 inch. Patternmaster with cheap 2 3/4 herters are awesome. Anyway, one 11 yr old kid was eyeballing my metrogun today. After asking permission from his dad, he took my metro and shot 12 pheasants with 15 shots. I was impressed, and called me yes sir, thank you sir all day. THAT made my day! Wake up at 6 am tomorrow and 460 release bird at greystone.

Release birds? Does that mean they raise them and turn them loose for you to shoot at? How do the anti HF people feel about that?

Actually watched it this evening for the first time with Marcus Spears lil hunting show "best of" episode. Seems kinda like skeet shooting, only you can eat the birds afterwards! PULL! Dinner time!

I hunted them up in the Panhandle like this a few years ago. It's not like the birds are trapped and can't leave the area. Folks have been hunting areas with released quail for decades. This is no different.

Well at least he called it a shoot, and not a hunt.

I'm not a bird hunter and didn't know that they did stuff like that. Do they release them once at a time? If so isn't it like shooting clays?
I'm not saying it's bad btw, just curious.

I'm not saying it's bad btw, just curious. On a 400 bird release, they typically release 2 at a time. On a 500-700 bird release, 3 at the time. Its harder then shooting clays, depending on the wind. I was shooting patternmaster duck and nr 4 yesterday to pick some high ones. When its windy, your shots will range between 40 and 80 plus yards downwind... Today was easier, 20-40 yard shots. Its very addicting. Its a shoot, not a hunt.

Its target practice at live game. Clay pigeons are hard and a little gritty.

Its target practice at live game. Or grocery shopping for live game.  I'd much rather do the killing and dressing myself than have the butcher do it.

Been to several (driven hunts) in GA. They have a big barbeque at 12:00 then off to the shooting stations. These had the release on a small hill with the shooting stations all around the hill. Long high shots and a blast. Some real nice labs to do the retrieving. Great time.

 I don't know about one in Yantis but here is the one I went to. Its at the Nine Bar Ranch near Decatur.http://www.ninebarranch.com/ 20 shooters, 210 birds released, 197 birds recovered. Price was $325 per man and included open bar afterwards while they cooked our ribeye dinner. It took about 3 hrs for the shoot. No, its not hunting but its great shooting. I was surprised how hard those birds were to bring down.
