Yeah, I know. I remember back when we'd go bird hunting. Find their perches and blast away! Gee, I wonder why you hardly ever see a passenger pigeon anymore....

Seriously, even if you never shoot anything (or even see anything) being out in the chilly air and watching the sun come up or walking through a field when a partridge explodes out of the weeds and scares the crap outa is and always has been wonderful.
