I agree with you on that, in fact opening day this season Im taking a newbie to hopefully put him on a bird. Actually in the last 4 years Ive helped 3 people to take their first bird. Talked wife into going once she lasted about 3 hrs hasnt been since, we never saw a bird. My 5 yr old was w me last year when I shot my bird, cant wait to take him if hed grow wed have a shot next year. I have more fun watching someone take a bird or just watch the birds react to calls/decoys than shooting them. Same with waterfowl, better watching birds work than shooting em.
