• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hey there Jagdflieger, I finally got one! On the first day I went out, scared up 2 roosters and 1 hen and got the second rooster! The pic is to big to post here. Will try though. posted as my avatar.
 
Congrats Skywolf! You'll have a tasty dinner soon. I'm taking Wednesday morning off and meeting some army buddies for a pheasant hunt on the base. We call it our alternate physical training for the day. I try to take a couple of guys from the outfit out for a hunt several times a year for morale and recreation.

Did you know that many of the aces in WWII grew up hunting birds? Many claimed that the experience had helped them master the 3 dimensional world of aerial combat. In aerial gunnery training, the USAAC used skeet shooting and shooting clay pigeons from a moving truck before moving on to shooting from an aeroplane.
 
RAF did the same. Some Gunnery schools even had turret trainers on the range with a shotgun fitted so that the gunners could get practice at using the turret hydraulics before air gunnery was attempted.
