Peter,
You are right we release live birds from a tower to be shot.

I've said in my previous posts "These things are just pure fun. It's not hunting it's a shooting thing with pheasant dinners as the prize."

We all shoot skeet and trap this is different. We don't normally get flak from orginazation's both peta or Peter.

As pheasant hunting is sparse in the northeastern U.S. released birds is about the only way we get to hunt or shoot them.

This is for pure fun, shooting and commaradery.
