Hunted the capital power site for the first time yesterday. Was pleasantly surprised on the amount of birds we saw. They also flushed well and werent real jumpy like I figured they would be. With all the good things being said it's time to talk about the bad. Saw LOTS of piles of feathers of wounded birds. Nearly every hull I saw on the ground was a trap load. Please if your hunting roosters do yourself your dog and the bird a favour and use a better hotter load. These things are tough and often on a less than ideal shot they hit the ground running. Do us all a favour and spend more than 5 bucks a box on ammo. Sorry for the rant.
PS. I also brought someones wounded birds home because my dog brought it to me still alive.
