I can't see any justification for ground swatting a game bird.
So would you ground swat a turkey?
How about shoot at a running deer?
How about shoot at a sitting squirrel?
just curious...
I'll bite.
Turkey: Yes. When I hunted them, it was illegal to take a Turkey on the wing. By law you had to shoot them on the ground. But you don't walk up (or drive) on them like Grouse. You have to call them in. That takes a level of skill and cunning.
Running deer: No.
Sitting Squirell: Yes, with a .22 rifle w/ peeps:, through the head. Spend time getting to know your .22 beforehand for accuracy and precision. Accurate and precise shooting takes time and skill.
