Modern bird hunting is just ridiculous from top to bottom.

How so bud? My dad and I hunt together with a Brittany spaniel.  Two birds a day per person. I have a 20 gauge pump and my dad uses a side by side 12 gauge. 

Ridiculous to those who don't know Jack Shit about what they're talking about.   
We like Labradors. . Labradors flush, & Brittanys point.  Both are amazing to watch.
Some here, don't know what we're talking about when they say "Modern bird hunting is ridiculous."
Maby a wood fire to keep warm is outdated to.

So tell me about your bird hunting experiences. What gun do you use? Bird dog or just go out with fellow humans and drive/flush? Favorite recipe?  Grouse? Pheasant? Quail?

Disagreeing with you doesn't mean I "don't know jack shit" RYME.

Shooting sitting ducks is fucked up, shooting birds on the wing isn't very safe. 
Eating wild game birds sounds like fun, until you do it.  Stringy, gamey, and biting into birdshot is not the minor inconvenience bird hunters want to pretend it is.
Buying farmed pheasants, starving them without food and water for a few days, and then spinning them around to disorient them and keep them close has become the norm in most of the country where pheasant and grouse aren't abundant enough.
Generally, hunting dogs aren't acceptable pets and pets aren't good hunting dogs.  That's all fine except that all the bird and rabbit dogs I know of live in kennels and only get attention on the hunt.
Turkey hunting is ok by me, it takes serious patience and skill.

I have no clue how shooting ducks is fucked up. To me that is some of the hardest bird hunting as shots can be straight at you or waaay up high. Your explanation of pheasant hunting is  to me hunting “preserves” when you pay to hunt. This is not the case when hunting in a wildlife management area.

Ok so you admit not knowing anything about bird hunting. Got ya. It was just a very odd statement claiming that people living in the country know something about bird hunting.

Not just paid hunts, people buy the birds from the "preserves" and hunt them on their own land.  Very common in the Great Lakes region at least.
People still hunt with ethical practices, I'm not saying they don't, but it's truly a sport hunt more than a sustenance hunt.  Most people only eat the breast anyways!

I'm not sure where you're coming from here...
We are in a thread which has been derailed by talk of bird hunting accidents (one a first hand account by a poster here) and it's just common knowledge that taking birds on the wing is why bird hunting is risky for people and their dogs.  I'm not saying it's certain death or anything, but swinging your firearm up suddenly to make a quick shot at a low flying bird is obviously a maneuver with a high margin of error.  It was one of the first things I learned about hunting and I'm surprised, frankly, that you would contest something so fundamental.
Speaking of fundamental hunting knowledge... Sitting ducks?  You can't possibly be ignorant to the millennia old ethical debate around shooting ducks on the water, aside from the safety concerns, yet people still do it all the time where it's legal.

I'm in.

My father and I used to shoot grouse. The meat could be tough.., this is true.

But I respect someone killing their bird in the wild and eating it more than I can respect the average joe supporting factory farms and buying big bags of chicken breasts from Costco.

I always assumed it was never funny when anyone got shot.

Agreed.
It says a good bit about the character of someone who thinks it's funny when someone gets shot in the face.  

i just did a search for 'cheney hunting'. you should too. many people, mostly left leaning on this forum, thought it was fucking hilarious and continued to use it as a talking point about who they thought should go hunting with him next, among other things. 

A bird gets dropped from the sky, lands on a hunters head and sends him to the hospital. That’s comparable to shooting someone in the face and laughing? And did fucking Dick “kill all Muslims” Cheney pay a price? Being the “responsible “ gun owner he is/was? Did he even care? Maybe if he had a heart?

Were you bragging not too long ago about shooting yourself? Or did I misread something on here? About a “gruesome” wound?
