dogs on foot.
When the covey rises all around you, all hell breaks loose. It helps if the
(hopefully experienced/ sober) hunters form a line perpendicular to the dogs
on point as they approach the dogs. You also only pick out/ shoot birds that
are above the horizon/ top of brush.?

Cheney had a 28-gauge Perazzi shotgun, so we can infer:
a. He is wealthy ($30,000 and up), no surprises there
b. He is a very good shot (a small-bore shotgun)
c. Everyone makes a mistake now and then, some larger than others
I have a Winchester Pigeon Grade 28-gauge over/under, and so far lots of
pheasant but no human casualties that I know of.? We had pheasant and turkey
this Thanksgiving.? The pheasant is where you bring out your best red
wines.? The wild turkey is better than raised, but I have never been able to
bag one - they are always at least one step ahead :).
