hello gentelmen i am an avid bird hunter from michigan in the USA and looking for help. i live about an hour north of detroit and have been a hunter most of my life since the age of about 12 on. here in mich. we hunt ringneck pheasant (imported from china about 80 years ago, and in very limited numbers now),ruffed grouse(a native bird of the most cunning type and one of the most challenging and delicious game birds in the states), and woodcock (in good numbers during there short migration thru). i have shot dove in Virginia several times and enjoyed it emensely. the southern way of dove shooting is all about family and friends and the young ones in particular. the father to son hunting tradition is alive and thriving in the south like no where else ive seen.
the way i found your group was in looking for some shooting in ireland in OCT. of this year. i will be in the killarney area the first full week of oct. and in lietrim the second full week . i would like to find maybe a hunt club for shooting a bird or two over a pointing dog (by the way we have an english setter and a german shorthair as my hunting dogs). so if any one could steer me in the right direction i would be very thankful. and if any one needs some one strong but not to smart to carry decoys and kit my son T.J. and i would certainly love to tag along as observers on a pigeon shoot.
either way i would enjoy talking to a hunter from the other side just to swap stories and lies.
thanx and good hunting Tim
