I do like my bird hunting but there's no comparison matching wits against a cagy old buck, compared with a bird with an acorn sized brain. Especially if you use dogs to help get the birds, not much of a mental challenge there. Sure you can hunt deer with all kinds of modern gadgets, baited stands, trailcams, walkietalkies. But you can do it the traditional way too. Don't compare traditional hunting with the bs stuff you see on the TV sports shows.
