There are times in the field or woods when I don't want to be bothered remembering what a gun is going to do with the empties-watching where a ruffed grouse is heading, after I miss with both tubes, and I'm reloading,(LOL!!) would be a good example.
But, I just don't need them. The guys who insist on doing a silly flury shoot while parading about in knickers might disagree, but, I'm really OK with that. I'm pretty sure I'll be out fishing the weekend they are doing that, so I won't make it. And, the limit on pheasants (legal) and grouse (my own) is still a brace, which, begs the question, "What's the point"?
Best,
Ted
