If a grouse lets me walk up to it or doesn't flush when i walk by on a trail, I'll shoot him off the ground and be grateful for a clean head shot and no pellets in the breast - and yes, after I have a couple I try to make them flush....to each his own...no apologies necessary, even if you do have to explain that fact to a camera shadow....shawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400018814519499369.post-28918430120356924992012-08-25T09:58:16.262-04:002012-08-25T09:58:16.262-04:00Holly, I've faced similar issue with TV report...Holly, I've faced similar issue with TV reporters following me in the woods deer and squirrel hunting. My biggest fear was not having a quick kill. Fortunately they camera guy on the deer hunt was so noisy any deer with in a mile knew we were coming, so I went with the theme of how hard it is to be successful hunting wild deer. With the squirrel hunt we did see some, but I managed to get them out of sight before the camera guy saw them. I don't like the kill shots on TV and didn't want to be part of them myself. What most people don't understand is the skill and work leading up to the kill, i.e. the hunt.<br />Eric C.

Sometimes you get a gift like this. Why not accept it? If a vine bearing sweet blackberries is within easy reach, I will pick them. I see no difference.<br />For me, the most difficult part of this would be hunting with a stranger.<br /><br />JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400018814519499369.post-76942652903067223852012-08-03T10:58:15.579-04:002012-08-03T10:58:15.579-04:00I wouldn't shoot, but I have no problem with p...I wouldn't shoot, but I have no problem with people who would. To me it would be like shooting a duck that landed in my decoys. I'd do something to spook the animal until it attempted to flee. Ethically, I don't think there's anything wrong with shooting the rabbit and I wouldn't look down on someone who did it. I just wouldn't do it personally.Marlowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16846105977514233014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400018814519499369.post-31850672004462258422012-08-02T16:41:34.042-04:002012-08-02T16:41:34.042-04:00I would shoot.
