How many of you let birds go?

I was out hunting last year and some guys were hunting an adjacent field a ways from me. I heard some shooting and watched a bird fly my way from where they were walking . It flew out it front of me and the dog in the general direction we were walking so we went to see if we could find it. The dog caught it mostly alive. Was a rooster. When I left I drove over to where they were parked, they were still in the field so I hollered out that I was going to leave it on there tailgate. They looked dumbfounded and swore up and down that they had killed and picked up every bird that they had shot at in the field..I wondered if it was one of those deals. stray pellet
 
I’ve seen the birds that fly a hundred yards or more and then sky straight up, and then fall stone dead. I’ve gone out and picked them up and then driven out to the group of hunters that shot it without knowing it was hit. I try to watch “missed” birds for awhile, many fall to the ground or do the sky routine and then fall to the ground.
 
If my dogs point it and I flush it, then I will shoot it as long as it is legal to shoot it. I pass on Jake turkey's, small bear, young deer and spike bull's but my dogs work hard for their birds....young or old so I make no effort to age a bird. Now if birds wild flush....I will pass on them.

If you shoot a hen,just take it back to the truck cooler.

Have I got this correct?

You do not shoot young roosters but you do shoot hens.

Shocking, another bull shit statement by goose that makes you wonder wtf he is thinking.

Guy should have been banned from this forum years ago. Shooting a hen is literally poaching.
