Yeah at least four guys.
Is it possible to have more than 3 guys without grabass spontaneously breaking out? Are there any techniques to defend against the phenomenon?
I almost always hunt alone, but it is always good to be prepared.

When I hear them mutter something, I turn & at least give them a glare, if not actual words, to let them know I'll be back. Next weekend. Next season. Either way, they're mine.

I think you might be OCD. You may need to take a break from bird hunting. Go out and play some golf in San Diego. And regroup.

I'm not talking about actually grabbing somebody's ass, oh hell no, I'm talking about these big groups of guys and all these vehicles that surround these fields, and it just seems like total Overkill to me and that's why I call it grab ass because it's sort of. What's the word, social dycotimy.
Isn't that part of the job description of a pheasant hunter?
We just heard from two of the foremost experts that obsession is an important part of this thing.
I've gotten a birdie in golf, and it isn't even close to getting the feathered type that hang out in frozen sloughs and gorge themselves on corn and beans.
Clearly, you just don't want me to thin out the population in your newfound slice of heaven. Not to worry. I'll leave at least 1 rooster per 200 hens, so you can shoot some juniors next season.
Oh, I realize you weren't talking about what happens when young men are alone, sheep herding, in that state below you.
Definitely a dichotomy between how we hunt and how they hunt. I'm just trying to narrow down the specifics that lead to a formal finding in the grabass taxonomy.

Well, driving a suburban, having a dog trailer, shooting a Gucci gun, that's all grab ass.

I can't believe it. The t-shirt didn't work!
I got here at 1 pm, and a truck from MN and one from WI were in *my* favorite honey hole! The nerve of some people! I tried a new place that was a dud and then went to the same place I have now started the past 3 weeks with (including today), where the birds are wilder than Goose's cousin's girlfriend, but there are generally a lot of them. Yep, same behavior. But I did manage to get one that flushed upwind to the side of me and went over my head.
Now what do I do? I am in the middle of nowhere. I highly doubt the local grocery store will have Vienna sausages, let alone good butter.
Speaking of which, does Land O Lakes butter count as good butter, @Golden Hour, or is there some Gucci rating a butter must receive before it qualifies?
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. This area, where I had only seen one truck on public land (ditch hunting), in the past 3 weeks, had a restaurant full of different groups of hunters tonight. Pretty sure, like The Monkeys Paw, the shirt brought in other hunters instead of birds, as I intended. There was a hunter on the shirt. It did say South Dakota Pheasant Hunting. Didn't know it would be powerful enough to make people drop everything and overrun the town and hunting spots.

Kerrygold, unsalted, is a good, safe bet for quality butter. You can get some local butters that are off the charts, but they aren't the most accessible. Start with KG and see what you think.
As for Vienna Sausages, you might be surprised where they're sold. Best part, they age like fine wine.

@Golden Hour - You didn't tell me just how powerful those Vienna sausages are. The mere talk of buying some put 3 birds in the bag in 80 minutes today. Those are some damn potent sausages!! 
I'm a little worried to try to get some at the grocery store. Not sure what would happen if hundreds of roosters attacked Honey and me. I only have 4 shots in my gun. It might be like the scene from The Birds, only much worse.

Why do you have a flashlight on your gun?@Golden Hour - You didn't tell me just how powerful those Vienna sausages are. The mere talk of buying some put 3 birds in the bag in 80 minutes today. Those are some damn potent sausages!!

Umm, keeps my hands free after the sun goes down? Do you hold your flashlight in your shooting hand or off hand when bird hunting after dark?

Most known you mount it underneath the barrel!
That's not a bad idea! I'd be able to see my bead again if I did that!Most known you mount it underneath the barrel!
