Just wait, some of us have been down this road before, and it got real ugly, real fast. As for the sneaking over pond dams and taking skillet shots at ducks, as far as I know, that is perfectly legal also, as is hunting upland game birds in Texas with 22's. I think if you will just watch and wait, you are going to see that this topic will go south in a hurry. If I am wrong, I apologise.

No need to apologize to me. I was involved in the baby bob-cat post 2-years ago. I know about thread deterioration.

I say skillet shoot if you want. It was against the law where I grew up. Wouldn't shoot them on the ground if I had my dogs with me or if I was hunting with someone else. Awful hard not to when your by yourself and you would like quail, mashed potatoes, and gravy for supper! I can honestly say I haven't done it but that might change one day who knows. I will tell you what is unethical...shooting a buck that is under 3.5 years old!

No...remember if your in tall grass and you see the grass moving, unload so that they don't have a chance to fly. I usually get a lot of different animals killed that way as well! Never know what you are going to get!

Right Fourtrax!! My outfitter has had group after group that he has taken to the Colorado City area and several other areas close to that this last quail season and he has yet to have one person shoot a blue on the ground. If they had it would have been their last hunt with him. Now thats not my rule, thats his rule. I think I made myself clear on the thread that some are referring to and the roller coaster has not stopped rolling because I still feel the same way! I'm just grearful that I can choose who I hunt with.

My outfitter
There's where the rules change. Once you turn hunting into a business, it's a different story. Your trying to make allot of hunters happy, without anybody getting hurt or a dog shot. Your trying to manage your coveys and keep them healthy. Under those circumstances i totally understand. What I'm saying and i believe others are as well, is it's not our standard practice of hunting, it's just an opportunity. Have i shot birds on the ground? You dang right i have. Have i shot ducks on the water? Yep, guilty once again. Is this something i do every time? Not at all. Most of the time it's when I'm by myself and out feeding and the opportunity comes up to get a half dozen quail real quick. Couple of shot and I'm eating quail that evening. Now if you want to only shoot birds on the rise, thats your decision and i have no problem with it, even admire it. I do the same thing 90% of the time. But if i want some quick quail or a couple of ducks, on the water or running down the road, I'll take them and nothing anybody can say will make me feel the slightest bit of remorse or guilt.

Not that I agree so much with what you said, I can see your side of it. I just choose not to engage in shooting anything on the ground lest it be a snake! I don't smell anything burning so much as I feel some sort of agitating prod in my back side. That wasn't directed at you HWY_MAN!

That is one of the constants when a person pays to hunt with a guide/outfitter, you hunt the way they dictate, or you complain and go home empty handed.
That is why it is so important for potential clients to get such things as how a hunt is conducted, out of the way before any money changes hands.
If a person does not want to go along with the way the guide/outfitter does their hunts, then by all means move on, and find another operation.
From what I have seen and been involved with over the past few years, most hunters go along with what the guide/outfitter dictates, as to how the hunting will be done, and everyone has a good time. Those that don't either have a bad time or are refunded part of their money and escorted off the ranch.
I always felt that what a person does on their own time and on their own property, was their business, and that other peoples opinions were just that, OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS!

I've hunted blues every year for about 20 yrs now in the trans-pecos. I wish the little devils would always fly! I personally think they are harder to hit (especially singles)skipping through the greasewood and sage than they are in the air. My average on flying birds is much higher than the ones I take on the ground. I get the feeling some on this post who disagree on ground shots have hunted blues very little or none at all.
