Growing up in GA during the 80's we would use the dogs and do a turkey drive Euro shoot style with labs and bagels off of a soybean field or corn.
They would fly over the creek and as soon as they cleared the trees it was shoot reload and shoot again 3 or 4 birds would hit the ground per hunter.........a little dangerous 20 lbs of bird falling out of the sky at over 30mph.

Dear Mr. Outdoorsman,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) Act with me. I appreciate hearing from you. Congress plays an important role in balancing the need for conservation on public lands with policies that encourage use of these spaces. Land conservation provides stability to our environment by protecting important water resources and ensures that these spaces are available for use by generations to come.
While the SHARE Act would have opened recreational lands to outdoor hunting, fishing and shooting, it severely weakened long-standing federal environmental and public land laws. The bill prevents the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating levels of lead in bullets and other hunting and fishing equipment, such as lead sinkers. It prohibits the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from restricting the possession of firearms in public areas of a development project. Furthermore, it blocks the Fish and Wildlife Service in their crackdown on the illegal ivory trade and allows the import of sport polar bear trophies, even though polar bears are listed as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act. For these reasons, I voted against the SHARE Act.
I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress to ensure we protect our environment while advancing policies that promote outdoor recreation.
Thank you again for contacting me. In San Diego, we know what kind of results we can achieve when we work together, and that is the approach I am taking to Washington.
