Re: Hunting without a dog
It's not only the retrieval of dead birds that's an issue, chasing down cripples is pretty tough without a dog. Unless you are an expert shot, you are definately going to wound a bird here and there and chasing it, hell even finding it to chase can be difficult without a dog.
I would suggest joining a local club and making friends with someone who has a dog. I don't mind taking out dogless friends sometimes as it gives my dog extra work.
Just make sure you treat their dog like a person when it comes to shooting near them....nothing ends a hunt faster for me than someone who shoots too close to my dog.
