Is ditch hunting kind of like cheating? I've finally had good luck with it this year, getting 3 birds so far. In each case I picked the ditch due to its cover and proximity to good feed. A buddy told me he doesn't count birds shot in the ditch to his yearly total. I follow all the laws when I do, and today the dog flushed one over a barb wire fence that was posted, and I didn't shoot. I know there's different opinions on this, just curious what others think. When I do it, I always keep the dog on the public side of the fence or property line.
