Wing-shooting: How valid is its nobility?

[Jenoch]

1. When I did a lot of waterfowl hunting years ago

I never shot birds on the water. It just didn't seem sporting and that's what I was taught.

I moved away from the prairie and farm country a long time ago where also did a lot of pheasant hunting (at least in the years there were abundant pheasants).

We bought some hunting land in northern Minnesota almost 15 years ago and took up ruffed grouse hunting. We don't shoot them while they're on the ground, but if they're on a tree limb they are fair game.

Minnesota's first dove hunting season almost 60 years was in 2004. Since there isn't much of a tradition of dove hunting, it's been a bit slow to catch on. I know I would be hunting doves if I still lived in farm country, but I haven't made the effort to do it yet.
