I’d rather look at photos than read some poorly written yarn about pheasant hunting, quite frankly some guys like to throw the dog work out there as a casual jab, marking, retrieving downed/wounded bird, staying in range, coming back when called are just as important as flushing or pointing and in some ways require more training, but whatever I get it you guys have been there and done that with the big group thing, I haven’t been there enough times to say that in modern times. Back in my 20s we did it a lot. I’d go back anytime I could, you could tell that large group you don’t dig it anymore I’m sure a lot of people would be willing to take your place.
