Ok thanks for clarifying. I haven't hunted them so not sure what you mean about how stupid they are. I understand now that they are designed just to release and be shot. Wouldn't a sporting chance then let them hide a bit better or it just lets the predators eat them?
Apologize in advance to my ignorance. Just trying to understand the hunt a bit better since I haven't tried it. I just picture people setting up and shooting the newly released animals. Doesn't sound as exciting as using dogs or trying to flush them out.
