Fair is fair. Game birds are alot fewer and farther between in NY State,
at least, than they were two decades ago. Many hunters enjoy wing
shooting in similar environments, as its the closest that they can get to
the real thing. It's not like it's a fenced-in deer facility.

Yeah, but it's not like real wing shooting either if the ones
in New York state are anything like the ones here in Illinois.
Around here you pay for X amount of birds, X amount of birds
are taken out of their pens and planted in a field, and X
amount of birds are shot, one way or the other. They may as
well be fenced in for all the chance they have.

The few hunt clubs I've been to in southern Wisconsin are all surrounded by
other properties that have a much higher concnetration of pheasants (and
whatever other birds are released) than similiar habitats further from the
clubs. Escapees, I think they're called. Evidently we have some wing
shooters here who aren't as good as you. Presumably, their dogs aren't as
good as yours either.

I won't hunt
pheasant at one of those places.

I take it you don't eat chicken, then.
