I don't mean to start a fight, but it seems to me that you guys out west have it pretty good. With all those open spaces and "Big Sky" country I'll bet you can actually see your bird for more than 2.5 seconds after it flushes.

PLUS I'll bet you're facing the direction it flushes with all your limbs in place.

C'mon to New England for a real special taste of humble pie. That is, once you get the alder leaves and blackthorn's out of your mouth!

Oh, did I forget to mention opening day here in Massachusetts is only 4 WEEKS AWAY!?
