Bluestem Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Hello fellow hunters. I've lurked for awhile, but wanted to join in the discussions and learn about hunting in Britain. Here in the States, I basically hunt behind wire-haired pointing griffons and pursue snipe, mourning doves, sharp tailed grouse, prairie chickens, pheasant, quail, jump shoot waterfowl of various sorts and stumble the occasional Hungarian partridge. In addition to that I guide on a preserve from time to time where the focus is pheasants and chukars. My hunting is done on public and private ground in Nebraska, North and South Dakota. I believe this is all considered rough shooting or walk up hunting in your parlance. Greetings to all, Bluestem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kes Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Greetings from across the pond again, in my case, Cheshire. Very good to meet a fellow hunter, lets hope you develop a 'special relationship' with the site. Planty of 'Good old boys' on the Watch, I'm one myself I reckon. I think we all envy you the freedom to own all sorts of guns - over here we are rather 'controlled'. Look forward to chatting in the future.

Bad Monkey Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Welcome Bluestem, love abit of walked up or rough shooting. Always get the impression that shooting is a little easier stateside? than over here, where we need landowners permission or have to pay out for expensive driven days.

Bluestem Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Welcome Bluestem, love abit of walked up or rough shooting. Always get the impression that shooting is a little easier stateside? than over here, where we need landowners permission or have to pay out for expensive driven days. Here in the central US we are pretty blessed with public lands that have wild bird populations. Private land access is a challenge anywhere, but one can usually get access if they are polite and persistent. Frankly, the public ground is good enough that I don't spend a lot of time running down private access. Someone mentioned coyotes, yes we have them along with red fox and an assortment of other fur-bearing nest raiders...the worst of which are skunks. Thanks for the welcome.
