I know quite a few and have met hunters I the field that hunt without dogs , some do alright as far as putting birds in the bag .
I 'be also seen guys driving around in vehicles looking for pheasants in the ditch and on the road.
However , this rate two different types of people IMO!
We often meet dogless hunters and invite them to hunt with us .
Some gladly accept and others decline .
Hunting rough out a fob dies not automatically make a hunter lazy or less of a hunter !
One must remember that many cannot afford a dog or live where they are not allowed dogs, or cannot put in the time needed for furry friends.
Got myself. , if I could not hunt pheasants over a dog I wouldn't .
I love hunting them but where I live I have to travel a very great distance so it is not practical.
