Yeah that sort of stuff does happen. I have seen them flush birds out of fields before shooting light.

I don't think this problem gets solved. I have tried talking to the offenders and their attitude is that they will shoot at what they want. I talked to WDFW and the attitude there was that they are "too busy." I went to public land once this year and saw one bird shot at 12 times,( yep, I counted them) several times after it had been hit. There was four or five guys argueing over who's bird it was. I can't imagine wanting it after being hit that many times. I pulled my dog and quit the place when I saw another hunter shooting at a dog because it had a bird that he said was his. Luckly, the dog was as far from him as most of the birds that people were shooting at. I can only see the problem getting worse as the population increases and available hunting land decreases.
I will hunt everywhere before I die
