It appears the ranch Dick hunts on works in this fashion.

The birds are raised in a pen...you tell the 'guides' how many birds you
want to shoot.

You go out into the field and take up your position. The 'guide' takes the
bird into a bush and when you are ready, he let's them go...

The bird gets maybe 4 seconds of freedom . . .

I thought it was pretty sick...

Why do you think it "sick?" If past performance is even the slightest
indication of future performance, a wag might offer that the 'guide' has
more to worry about than the bird, but IAC, the description above isn't
truly reflective of most such hunts. Moreover, unless you refuse to
fish in any water that might possibly contained stocked fish, IMO, your
criticism of another's method of hunting is hypocritical. You seem to
assign at least some importance to the "4 seconds of freedom." How does
the time of freedom matter when the prey is bred and placed strictly for
the amusement of the hunter? IOW, stocked is stocked.

...now, if you had said you personally found it "unsporting"...

unpsortingly sick....sickly unsporting...sickeningly
unsporting...unspprtingly sickening....sport sick...sick sport...sickening
sport...sportingly sick...sporting sick....that's about all I can think of
offhand...

true, I have fished in stocked waters....can't say I like it much...

I'd hit the sumbitch forcing you to fish there in the mouth...in the
event you are the sumbitch forcing you to do something that you don't
like, you might consider the advice the doctor gave the person
complaining that it hurt when he jabbed himself in the gut: "don't do
that anymore..." To paraphrase Pogo, you have met the source of your
hypocrisy and he is you...

In your recent journey down thisaway, you had a chance to fish the last
"wild" river around, the Pascagoula. Did you, perchance, avail yourself
of the opportunity? If not, why not?

maybe that's why I always let them go...

To what fate?
