    I spent my youth chasing Wisconsin Pheasant and roughed grouse, my young adulthood chasing Iowa Bobwhite quail and Pheasant, and my later years mostly in a blind shooting Ducks and Geese. The US really has a lot to provide hunters.

    Hunting quail in the western US, it’s interesting to see the differences even within the country. So much regional variation is available, would love to see your comparison between this and hunting Mountain Quail for example. Then pheasants in the Dakotas and ducks in the Mississippi delta for even bigger contrasts. And why stop at birds, elk in Colorado vs pigs in Texas!

  • @dariandunn2811

    TGS Outdoors, As an American...What you experienced, isn't the normal day of shotgun hunting in the USA. I have never had a day like that. I can't think of anyone I know who has had a day like that or a pretty shotgun they take to the woods.
    Most of the time it is a bunch of guys who get up pre-dawn, pile into a truck, drive out of town to some private property with their scratched up beater shotguns. Maybe some over unders or double barrels, but mostly you will see Remington 870s or Mossberg 500s. Most of the time people are unshowered, unshaven, wearing t-shirts and blue jeans with orange hats, orange vests. If it isn't raining, snowing, it isn't hunting season.

    10 years ago I went to the River Bottom Plantation on a quail hunting trip down in South Georgia, good times and good food with old military buddies - your trip brought back a lot of the good memories. And, like everyone has said, the content y'all put up for this episode was awesome. It's cool watching the English guys experience the American South. George Hi will be thanking y'all for the business you're bound to bring them. Oh yeah, I hope they eventually found your luggage.

    I loved this video. I’ve been hunting quail nearly all my life and it’s second nature to me. I suppose I’ll be just as nervous on my first English driven hunt in a few months. I’ll also be in NC in a few weeks for the Southern SxS. This got my blood pumping. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my last two trips to the UK, to attend the Holt’s auction and to shoot pigeons. But I can’t wait to get home and burn some powder in NC. Well done, Jonny! Now that you’re hooked on quail, you’ll never look back.

    As an English shooter, I never knew such a similar style of shooting birds existed in America.
    My interpretation of American hunting is sitting in a hide with your pals, all camouflaged up with 10 gauge semi autos, waiting for geese & ducks to land on your decoys.
    Love to see it, I hope to have a turn sometime.

    Johnny, you are “living the dream”! I shot quail on a plantation in Georgia years ago, and the experience was unforgettable. Watching the dogs work is a lot of it. I do confess to shooting a 12 gauge at the time, albeit with 3/4 oz. loads. Perry

  • @MBMelgaard
    @MBMelgaard Před rokem +1

    Absolutely brilliant video. Stunning!! As a fairly new hunter, I kind of find it somewhat calming/reassuring, that you, with your vast experience also can get nervous when finding yourself in a new hunting situation. I think that, even though you can always ask your fellow hunters, how things should be done ( or at least you always should be able to), there is always that thing in the back of your head asking if you are making an absolutely ass of yourself or not. There´s a fine line between asking for advice and being the annoying type, asking about absolutely everything all the time. Gaining experience can be a tricky thing. One thing is talking about the do´s and dont´s before a hunt, the other is doing things correctly while on the hunt, heartbeat raising and adrenaline rushing.
    I guess that as long as you focus on safety, then everything will come with time. Thank you for yet another great production.
