[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 3314062, member: 12277"] I guess I would have to say general hunter and maybe even more of a shooter than pure hunter. I weaned my shooting teeth so to speak on groundhogs in alfalfa fields after all. Also was sent out to watch over sorghum grass hay fields when they were 1st coming up to keep flocks of blackbirds run out so lots of shooting there. Like many here though, I've drifted towards more of just a deer hunter in recent years mostly because of a lack of the other game. No groundhogs left in shootable numbers. Haven't had a decent place to shoot doves in many years. Don't have the good fortune to have a blackbird roost nearby to shoot as I used to either. Talk about shotgunning heaven.....find a good BB roost and set up under a flight path coming into the roost far enough out to not disturb the roost but close enough that the birds are sticking to a well defined route and bring all the shells you can carry. :) Even the best dove shoot pails to that in my opinion. You can take all the shots you want at individual birds and if you want more challenge, go for the inevitable starlings that tag along with the black birds. As turkeys seem to be increasing around my place, I hope to add them to my list of game too. Don't get me wrong though, nothing can ever replace the excitement of deer hunting. Especially Opening Day of rifle season. [/QUOTE]
