I edited it. I am surprised that there are still wild birds. My family has owned property in Berks for over 50 years. As a kid, seeing pheasants was common. I remember chasing quail with a bb gun as a kid (don’t worry, I was never able to get close enough to a sitting quail for a shot). I am not from a hunting family and I had to pick it up as an adult. I would love to see them take hold again. Personally, I wouldn’t shoot any unless there was a major recovery.
The area where we are has really changed. I don’t usually notice it until I see old pictures. We used to also have good grouse numbers in the woods around there. They are really down recently. I am hoping some of the recent logging will help. I don’t shoot them anymore except for farther north.
