Half the fun is scattering the flock and fall calling them back in ...

Of course I'm not adverse to pre-season scouting their movements and setting up my pop-up blind in their path while waiting for them to march by as I sit on my tripod stool, drink a latte, and keep warm from my pesto-lighted heater.

we hunt them the same time we are archery hunting. easy to get permission as well. by that time they are bunched up and driving home/land owners crazy. :tup:
